Roberto, I would suggest whether this is something that might proceed to a draft standard will likely depend on whether it scales globally, has at least two independent running code implementations, and is widely deployed. I would also hope that the consistency of user experience is taken into account so the settings for my services and sites in my DNS as standardised remain published as I publish them and available transparently and globally to users and not mucked about with by "their" DNS.

Sorry for the late reply, I have a new computer and need to set my filters better, as this message ended up in the spam folder. I am not a technical guru, so I am asking the question to the ones who know. Isn't this what China is already doing for the IDNs under .cn? The only difference is that they are now trying to give an "official" status to the solution, methinks. If I get it correctly, now in China you can use [idn].[idn] because the ISPs point to a different tree, while from outside China you need to use [idn].[idn].cn. Do I get it right? Moreover, what are the chances that this draft gets any support in the IETF? Personally, I have serious doubts. But it would be good to be kept informed of the developments. Cheers, Roberto
-----Messaggio originale----- Da: at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] Per conto di Lutz Donnerhacke Inviato: martedì 19 giugno 2012 14:57 A: At-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.org Oggetto: [At-Large] China is going to divide the DNS
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-diao-aip-dns
Each ISP - large enough to obtain a TLD from IANA for this purpose - should be allowed to create it's own DNS hierachy.
This Chinese proposal is justified by the fact that the (U.S.) centrally managed name space represents a risk for the stable operation of the Internet. Following this draft different name spaces are spanned, each of them operated autonomously. Which domain names are allowed, added, or removed; how a domain name is resolved, is soley in the hand of the operators.
Using the typical definition, that "the Internet is the transitive closure of all systems communicating bidirectional via Internet Protocol, which contains the DNS root servers", the Internet is splitted by this proposal.
There is no reason to believe the rumours, that this proposal is a direct consequence of the ICANN desaster with new gTLDs.
On the other hand, DNSSEC root keys at the end user systems define which root have to be used in the first place. This can be used to establish and protect the new name spaces. _______________________________________________ At-Large mailing list At-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/at-large
