Come on, that's completely unrealistic. Can you imagine ICANN delegating .local to any one, after it has been used massively by Apple Bonjour, even before RFC 6761 sanctioned it? Can you imagine ICANN delegating .onion to someone, giving the number of collisions it would generate? ICANN did many stupid things but this one seems very unlikely. > The purpose of RFC 6761 is not to say "if you start squatting on a > TLD, you will be able to later get it reserved". But it is exactly what happened with the first actual use of RFC 6761, .local. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
