IF IETF would have a list of domain names not suitable for being TLDs (which it
has, but you understand what I mean, I strongly would encourage ICANN to point
at that list by IETF when ICANN create this list of theirs, at least for the
bootstrap, or maybe even the IETF list would be that black list. But now I know
I discuss ICANN PDP here and not IETF, but unfortunately the two are
intertwined.
ICANN excluded the IETF reserved names last time, and it seems certain
they would do so next time. The question is whether we can update that
list to be complete enough to be useful, and do so in a timeframe that
would keep it useful. I have my doubts. More than doubts.
