New RFC on Private Namespace TLDs

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Hey all,

Just saw this discussion on the SubPro mailing list, and decided to share
it with you.  A new informational RFC on the creation of private namespace
TLDs was just submitted, you can find the description below:

*(...)  The ISO 3166 standard is used for the definition of eligible
designations for country-code top-level Domains. This standard is
maintained by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency. The ISO 3166 standard
includes a set of user-assigned code elements that can be used by those who
need to add further names to their local applications. *

*Because of the rules set out by ISO in their standard, it is extremely
unlikely that these user-assigned code elements would ever conflict with
delegations in the root zone under current practices. This document
explicitly reserves these code elements to be safely used as top-level
domains for private DNS resolution."*

>

The document speaks a little bit about the use of strings to facilitate
private spaces within the DNS, and this RFC seems to touch upon the topic
of special use domains that was also under discussion by the New Subsequent
Procedures WG.

Sharing it on the list because I would love to hear your thoughts on the
matter.

best,
