How did you come to that conclusion. It sounded to me as if ICANN
is on the road to assign .internal for the purpose.

See above.

I don't think ICANN are the authoritative experts to define how to best operate
private DNS zones, especially not modifications to configs if not source code
to automatically filter out DNS requests for that zone to avoid the overload of
public DNS servers with requests for it - something which ICANN is suggesting is
what .internal can achieve. And which i think it may not be able to achieve
unless
appropriate operational recommendations exist and are applied. And if i was a
DNS
operator, i would hope IETF would provide those recommendations.
