Dear all,
While in AUTH48, the authors of draft-ietf-dnsop-sutld-ps-08.txt realized
that they forgot to include a
citation of the IAB statement [SDO-IAB-SUDN-REG]. In my opinion, this statement is
a useful contribution to the discussion.
The authors would like to add this section 4.1.5:
4.1.5 IAB Statement on the registration of special use
names in the ARPA domain
As part of the process of resolving the controversy mentioned in
section 4.2.7, the IAB issued a statement saying, in part:
There is currently no process defined with ICANN for special use
names to be delegated in the root zone, it has seemed likely to
take significant effort to create one, and the IAB has noted that
.arpa can be used "for technical infrastructure established by
IETF standards." [SDO-IAB-SUDN-REG]
Given the lack of an established process with ICANN, IETF
documents cannot reserve names in the root of the DNS namespace if
those names are to be delegated (that is, used by the DNS
protocol). It would be possible to work with ICANN to develop
a process for such delegations, but the success of that joint
work, and the amount of time it would take, would still be
uncertain.

Please let me know if you object to this addition by next Monday
October 16th.
Regards, Benoit (as responsible AD for the draft-ietf-dnsop-sutld-ps
IETF draft)
