Actually, IIRC it originally came from a suggestion made in the ARCING BoF, where it enjoyed quite strong support. But, we are (of course) happy to change it to whatever the WG wants. When reading these documents and choosing your preferred one, please keep in mind that whatever you select is a *starting point* -- the authors of whichever document will incorporate whatever changes the WG asks for. > in Buenos > Aires, because we didn't want to use "Domain Names," because "Domain Names" > is too easily confused with "Domain Name System Protocol."

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
