Colleagues,

the IETF has recently published a Draft Problem Statement on "Special 
Use Domain Names".

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-sutld-ps/?include_text=1

 From the document summary:

This document presents a list, believed to be complete, of the
    problems associated with the assignment of special-use names.

   Solutions to these problems are out of scope for this document.

    No assertion is made that any of these problems is more or less
    important than any other.  ...  These problems should not appear to every
    reader to all be problems: we intend to cover any problem that any
    participant considers a problem, not just those problems that
    everyone agrees are problems.

    In addition, no assertion is made that all of these problems must be
    addressed, or that, if we think they should be addressed, the IETF is
    the organization with competence to address them.  While each problem
    has one or more solutions, the solutions may in some cases be
    mutually contradictory, or may come with costs that do not justify
    the benefit that would be obtained from solving them.


Our constituency should follow the work on this and discuss it at a time 
deemed necessary.

Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich
