Dear DNSOP,
About 2.5 years ago, we introduced a small addition to our domain lookup
tool: a “for sale” indicator when a domain is known to be available for
purchase.
Example:
https://www.sidn.nl/en/whois?q=example.nl
We saw potential for broader use, so I documented the concept in an I-D,
with the intended status: Informational.
Fast forward to today: the idea still works well in production.
I recently revised and re-submitted the draft, with a more serious
intent of pursuing RFC publication.
I initially considered the independent stream to be the most appropriate
route, given that the document is not a standards-track proposal per se,
but rather describes a practical mechanism that might evolve into a 'de
facto' standard.
An early review by DNSDIR (thanks, James Gannon!) was generally
positive. However, the reviewer recommended bringing the work to DNSOP
for community discussion and *possible* standardisation — arguing, as I
do, that it may see broad adoption.
That advice caught me a bit by surprise. It’s encouraging, but it also
changes the path forward.
Hence this email.
The draft:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-davids-forsalereg/
A *slightly* newer version:
https://check.sidnlabs.nl/marco/rfc/draft-davids-forsalereg.html
The review:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-davids-forsalereg/reviewrequest/22191/
I’d really appreciate your initial thoughts on whether this work belongs
in DNSOP - and if so, how best to proceed.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
