DK Hostmaster finds that the conclusions in the SAC053 Report on Dotless Domains are so inconclusive that we strongly recommend against deciding any rules to or contractually prohibit dotless domains. As stated in the report "these potential ambiguities make it very difficult in practice to predict how a dotless domain will be resolved in different situations". We find that there is no strong reason to be ruling against dotless domains. Instead it is advised to inform TLDs about the potential effects of using dotless domains.

Best regards,

Niels Haarbo
