A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Domain Name System Operations of the IETF.
Title : The ALT Special Use Top Level Domain Authors : Warren Kumari Andrew Sullivan Filename : draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-07.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2017-02-01 Abstract: This document reserves a string (ALT) to be used as a TLD label in non-DNS contexts, or for names that have no meaning in a global context. It also provides advice and guidance to developers developing alternate namespaces. [Ed note: Text inside square brackets ([]) is additional background information, answers to frequently asked questions, general musings, etc. They will be removed before publication.This document is being collaborated on in Github at: https://github.com/wkumari/draft- wkumari-dnsop-alt-tld. The most recent version of the document, open issues, etc should all be available here. The authors (gratefully) accept pull requests. NOTE: This document is currently a parked WG document -- as such, all changes are being handled in GitHub and a new version will be posted once unparked. It had been suggested (off-list) that the draft should contain <TBD> instead of .ALT, and then make the WG choose a string before publication. A version of the draft like this was published on GitHub (https://github.com/wkumari/draft-wkumari-dnsop-alt-tld/ tree/7988fcf06100f7a17f21e6993b781690b5774472) (and generated no feedback). This version reverts to .ALT -- the chairs stated that the document was adopted with the string .alt, it has been discussed as .alt. IMO, it is more readable as .alt; it would also be a difficult consensus call, boiling down to beauty contests. If the WG selects a different string ("not-dns" had been suggested in the past), the editors will, of course, replace it. ] The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld/ There's also a htmlized version available at: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-07 A diff from the previous version is available at: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-07 Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
