Début du message réexpédié : > De: IETF Secretariat <[email protected]> > Objet: New Non-WG Mailing List: Dbound -- DNS tree bounds > Date: 28 janvier 2014 17:31:01 HNE > À: IETF Announcement List <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected], [email protected] > Répondre à: [email protected] > > A new IETF non-working group email list has been created. > > List address: [email protected] > Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dbound/ > To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dbound > > Purpose: > > Both users and applications make inferences from domain names, usually > in an effort to make some determination about identity or the correct > security stance to take. Such inferences, however, are usually based > on heuristics, rules of thumb, and large static lists describing parts > of the DNS name space. The DNS root is expanding rapidly, and the > existing mechanisms -- primarily the public suffix list > (http://publicsuffix.org/) and related systems -- are unlikely to be > sustainable in the medium term. Most of the existing mechanisms are > managed semi-manually, and there are good reasons to suppose that the > limits of such management are either about to be exceeded, or already > have been. Moreover, the existing mechanisms are made without regard > to the semantics of domain name boundaries, and sometimes miss subtle > but important parts of those semantics (in particular, the public > suffix list has sometimes failed to take into account so-called empty > non-terminals). Perhaps most importantly, the public suffix list puts > the control of policy assertions about a given name outside of the > control of the domain operator, and in the hands of the operator of > the list. > > The purpose of this mailing list is to discuss this issue and to > identify as completely as we can the cases in need of addressing, to > identify the necessary lines of work to address each case, and to > determine whether there is sufficient interest and energy to set up a > working group to complete that work. > > For additional information, please contact the list administrators.
