| Invalid Top Level Domain Queries at the Root Level of the Domain Name System (R4) | SAC045 | CLOSED |
Description:
The SSAC recommends that ICANN consider the following in the context of the new gTLD program.
- Prohibit the delegation of certain TLD strings. RFC 2606, "Reserved Top Level Domain Names," currently prohibits a list of strings, including test, example, invalid, and localhost. ICANN should coordinate with the community to identify a more complete set of principles than the amount of traffic observed at the root as invalid queries as the basis for prohibiting the delegation of additional strings to those already identified in RFC 2606.
