I see that draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-08 gives the intended status of the document as Informational, while it is listed in the datatracker as "In WG Last Call: Proposed Standard".
There are arguments in favor of each status. The relevant text is in section 5 of RFC 6761: An IETF "Standards Action" or "IESG Approval" document specifying some new naming behaviour, which requires a Special-Use Domain Name be reserved to implement this desired new behaviour, needs to contain a subsection of the "IANA Considerations" section titled "Domain Name Reservation Considerations" giving answers in the seven categories listed below. Publishing draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-08 as Proposed Standard meets the "Standards Action" requirement. However, Proposed Standard may not be appropriate for draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-08, as the document does not specify a new protocol, as such. draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-08 does specify certain behaviors for components of the Internet, which could be thought of as providing for interoperability so that Proposed Standard status would be appropriate. On the other hand, publishing draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-08 as Informational would require an "IESG Approval" document to meet the requirements of RFC 6761. A short sentence added to draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-08 is likely all that would be needed, to the effect of "The IESG has reviewed this document and approves of the request to add .alt to the Special Use Domain Names registry." In any event, in my opinion the WG needs to express its explicit consensus about its choice of intended status for draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld-08. - Ralph > On Apr 7, 2017, at 9:38 AM, Suzanne Woolf <suzworldw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > We had initially scheduled the WGLC on this document to be over by now. > However, the flurry of activity around the review we were asked to do on the > homenet-dot draft, and the general traffic level on the list during IETF 98, > suggested to the chairs that we should extend the WGLC. > > We’re hereby formally extending it to next Wednesday, April 12. > > As always for WGLC— we need to hear both support and opposition for taking > this draft to the next step in the process. > > thanks, > Suzanne & TIm > > >> On Apr 1, 2017, at 4:17 PM, Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzme...@nic.fr> wrote: >> >> On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 07:20:55PM -0400, >> Suzanne Woolf <suzworldw...@gmail.com> wrote >> a message of 92 lines which said: >> >>> This message opens a Working Group Last Call for: >>> >>> "The ALT Special Use Top Level Domain" >>> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld/ >>> <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld/> >> >> I've read -08 and I believe I understand this draft.
