Nuttin' -- they can apply, but the expectation is that it wouldn't be granted. The last new gTLD round "Draft Applicant Guidebook" contained: 2.2.1.2.1 Reserved Names All applied-for gTLD strings are compared with the list of top-level Reserved Names to ensure that the applied-for gTLD string does not appear on that list. <and then a table, containing, amongst other things (including 'ICANN', 'IETF', 'IESG', 'RSSAC' and 'SSAC' (don't even get me started..)) all of the single labels in the "Special Use Names" registry and "*Note that in addition to the above strings, ICANN will reserve translations of the terms “test” and “example” in multiple languages. The remainder of the strings are reserved only in the form included above."> So, putting something on the SUN registry seems to make it not eligible for being considered as string that can be applied for (at least in this last round) W > > I will not be able to attend the DNSOPS WG since I arrive in Prague later in > the week, but would appreciate being part of this ongoing discussion. > > > /bill > _______________________________________________ > DNSOP mailing list > DNSOP@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop -- I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in the first place. This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
