I hope they've considered what will happen if you go to http://localhost/ or http://pcname/
Is that the local networks pcname, or the gTld pcname? Are we going to have to start using a specially reserved .local gTld?
No, of *course* ICANN didn't give any engineering thought to it. Cause the engineers? Are all *here*. And David Conrad's apparently the only guy who's heard about it. :-)
I have seen many NANOG folks at ICANN meetings discussing this and also active on ALAC so David isn't the only guy. Also do a search on the list and you will find threads dating back. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.operators.nanog/56728/match=gTLDs Zaid
