The IETF seem to think it's a policy issue and not a technical issue.
I presented a draft at the San Jose IETF at the newdom BOF. It's a
credible plan that includes the IAHC shared-tld plan, but balances the
issues in the overall namespace. It could save a small fortune that
would otherwise be spent on litigation by domain name holders.
But guess what happened? The IAHC, comprising mainly of lawyers,
started their one-way discussion, and as a result started increasing
the billable hours to the legal profession.
Watch. Cringe. There are consequences. But, of course, I'm just
repeating myself (again).
