This draft have originally been copied to the perpass mailing list (not a working group). As far as I know, draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-names is the first attempt to actually use RFC 6761 and exercice its procedures. It sees RFC 6761 (section 4) is not crystal-clear about the discussion to have before a registration. RFC 5226, section 4.1 says "Before approving a request, the community should be consulted, via a "call for comments" that provides as much information as is reasonably possible about the request." so I think a good idea to have dnsop read and discuss about it.
For the record, I've reviewed draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-names-00, I find it well-written and clear and I fully support it. Registering these names would be a very good idea.

Title : Intended status: (IESG Approval) Expires: May 17th, 2014 Author(s) : Christian Grothoff Matthias Wachs Hellekin O. Wolf Jacob Appelbaum Filename : draft-grothoff-iesg-special-use-p2p-names-00.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2013-11-14 Abstract: Today, the Domain Name System (DNS) is a key service for the Internet. DNS is primarily used to map human-memorable names to IP addresses, which are used for routing but generally not meaningful for humans. However, the hierarchical nature of DNS makes it unsuitable for various Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Name Systems. As compatibility with applications using DNS names is desired, these overlay networks often define alternative pseudo Top-Level Domains (pTLDs) to integrate names from the P2P domain into the DNS hierarchy. This memo describes common Special-Use Domain Names [RFC6761] pseudo Top-Level DNS Names designed to help harden name resolution security (e.g., [RFC6840][RFC6975]), provide censorship resistance, and protect the users' privacy on the Internet. In this IESG Approval document we are asking for domain name reservations for five Special-Use Domain Names [RFC6761] TLDs: ".gnu", ".zkey", ".onion", ".exit", and ".i2p".
