SSAC report on "dotless" domain names
by Bruce Tonkin March 3, 2012

March 3, 2012

Hello ALl, A frequent question is whether new gTLDs could be used without a second level domain separated from the top level with a dot. ie can we use names in a "dotless" format. e.g http://canon or sales@canon ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) has reviewed this topic and made the following recommendation: " Dotless domains will not be universally reachable and the SSAC recommends strongly against their use. As a result, the SSAC also recommends that the use of DNS resource records such as A, AAAA, and MX in the apex of a Top- Level Domain (TLD) be contractually prohibited where appropriate and strongly discouraged in all cases." See: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-053-en.pdf Regards, Bruce Tonkin

RE: [council] FW: IOC/RC Drafting Team Status Report
by Alan Greenberg March 1, 2012

March 1, 2012

Chuck said "it is not without precedent for WG's to request comments on their work before they are finished". That is an understatement as I suspect that in the GNSO world, the majority of public comment periods are initiated by WGs and others to get feedback on interim results.
