[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] [renamed] Key early questions

[Michael D. Palage]

Jim,

You raise a really good point.  I just purchased a hybrid hot water heater which can connect to my home network.  When dealing with the Internet of Things the lines regarding what is and is not internet infrastructure are not very black and white.

Best regards,

Michael

This is a useful distinction, which I happen to like.

However, it does mean that we have to define  infrastructure .  
I m hopeful there s a baseline for which we could get broad agreement.

Unfortunately, in my experience, we do not have broad agreement on whether having a domain name means you are part of the Internet infrastructure.

And isn t that why we re here?

Jim
