Hi-
Perhaps my suggestion was better for off-list, and I certainly don't know if
it would be the magic solution for .cw, but it certainly could not hurt them
to submit their entry to the PSL. I do hope it contributes to the solution
for them.
The PSL is something that the application development community uses to
enhance the IANA list for a variety of uses, typically for understanding what
might be valid on the rightmost side of addresses.
Yup, the PSL is used by a number of browser manufacturers to scope cookies...
Many app developers don't closely watch the IANA root list, and want to
know how to have a more elegant understanding and handling of the right hand
side of addresses that are parsed, going deeper than just the TLD itself.
Yes -- the IANA root list (unfortunately) simply doesn't contain the
information needed to correctly determine where a cookie can be set. The PSL
helps prevent a cookie being set at e.g: .co.uk.

I don't have an opinion on if it is right or wrong, but it has been around
for some time, and a few years back I saw it was out of synch with the TLD
community and have put a lot of volunteer time into trying to correct that.
I am on temporary hiatus, but when not on exclusive projects, I volunteer
time and experience to the initiative as it needs tighter nexus with the DNS
community. Many of you have perhaps seen me presenting it at ICANN meetings
within the CCNSO tech day or other forums to help elevate awareness in the
past few years.
The hope and purpose is to bridge the application development world so as to
increase better sophistication for developers about TLDs and reduce legacy
problems like simple TLD tests (ie 3 chars = invalid which broke forms or
other functionality for info, museum, aero, mobi, travel etc. as they
launched) .
It is a central system managed by the community, kept up to date by
volunteers, and used by numerous software developers, programming languages,
browsers (cookies), search engines, security software, and many other places.
Hopefully it helps .cw as they launch, which was my initial purpose in
response.
Definitely worth folks on this list being aware of it. Being able to
positively impact how your zone operates within the application development
community is a valuable resource.

A reader even more nazi than I am suggested a definition closer to the
DNS semantics:
A suffix is any sequence of labels ending a domain name.
