Re: [bc-gnso] The Technical Impact of New gTLDs: Are We Pushing on Regardless?

On a related topic, the IAB has just put out this statement: 
http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2013-2/iab-statement-dotless-domains-considered-harmful/

In it, the IAB says things like:

Since the advent of the DNS, Internet naming systems have always relied on the 
presence of dots in names to distinguish between names that are intended to be 
interpreted locally, and names that are intended to be looked up on the 
Internet. Dotless domains lead to ambiguities in their resolution, and 
therefore unintended and unexpected results when used by proper implementations 
of IETF standards. 

And:

The IAB believes that the current IETF recommendations against the use of 
dotless domains are important to the continued viability and success of the 
Internet, and strongly recommends that the Internet community strictly adhere 
to them.
