It's not as clean as I'd like, certainly. I was pushing up against the draft submission deadlines and didn't get all the wording into place. > In 2.2.1 it states that .internal does not exist in the GID.

I don't see where in 2.2.1 it says that though. > In 2.2.2 it states that .zz is an unsigned delegation in the GID’s DNS > root. Yet in the summary section it states that “.zz is a > special-use-like TLD that MUST never be assigned”. Which is it? The later. .zz is not delegated. Again I'm not sure which sentence you're referring to though. [someone did note that one of my section names is incorrect as well and referred to the wrong one] > My understanding of an unsigned TLD is that it is delegated in the > root zone unsigned.

We've known this for years with even /etc/hosts being different from the DNS, and NIS coming along later, etc. Nowdays, there are so many split-systems with both internal and externally differing naming sets I was trying to use something that included the world "global" to be super-clear this is the "big one". -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
