Or with regard to co-ordination between anyone else and the IETF. This is part of why I say the IETF retains the ability to take some names out of the DNS protocol or otherwise to alter the DNS namespace. I attempted to make some distinctions about this a few weeks ago, and Steve Crocker has posted some other distinctions (some of which are, as near as I can tell, just administrative matters for one policy authority for a DNS zone). Ed Lewis told me he didn't understand the distinctions I was trying to make. I'm not sure whether they're helpful. > - RFC6761 talks about names, not TLDs. i.e. It could be use to reserve a > name under any existing TLD. Yes, and in fact that happens. Example, for instance, is reserved underneath com, net, and org. > - RFC6761 does not say much about how to evaluate the merits of proposals. I don't think that's true at all. It has the various criteria. If you can't explain how you meet the various criteria, then there's a problem. I think onion does, and others seem to too, so it's proceeded accordingly. The real blocker for onion for well over a year was its link to other names where the argument for special treatment was harder.
