Re: [DNSOP] rfc8499bis: lame

2023-06-08 Thread Bob Bownes -Seiri

I would posit that the potential to view the word as offensive has increased as 
language usage has changed in the intervening years since it was first used in 
this context. 

As one who is a) a native English speaker and b) grew up in an environment 
which had an equestrian community element, ‘lame’ to me, implied a transient 
condition, which has seemed somewhat appropriate to use in our context.  

However, the change in language has resulted in a change of the primary meaning 
to many people, and it may now be found offensive by some. As such, I believe 
it’s time to look at changing.

I’m all for addressing our past mistakes if we have consensus.

Re: [DNSOP] Deprecating infrastructure .INT domains

Kim,

I concur with Joe on this. It would be good practice to tidy up these 
appendages. 

I too would be happy to contribute text as appropriate.

By this logic, using a FCFS 'registry' model implies at least enough 
information (if not a requirement) for some of tracking the registrant to 
confirm continued use, transfer, release or abandonment at the very least, no?
