Yes - and I've not been following the effort closely, but I believe it's being done over in DBOUND in their work to replace the Public Suffix List. Because (AIUI) DBOUND is intended to specify security-relevant zone cuts *in DNS* using it to specify names that are reserved in DNS but not _in_ DNS might come out a little weird... but it seems like the most relevant place to at least take the idea and discuss it. -tom _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
