RFC 1032 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1032> includes a questionnaire for TLD applicants to fill out and return via email. I figured the root servers were also involved in this somehow, and found another ICANN document which gives a history of the root server system <https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/root-server-system-advisory-committee-rssac-publications/rssac-023-17jun20-en.pdf>. The document cites some namedroppers email and IETF meeting proceedings. There are several other people on this list who worked on/with these things, so hopefully they can provide more information. --gregbo -- Internet-history mailing list [email protected] https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/internet-history - Unsubscribe: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/9b6ef0621638436ab0a9b23cb0668b0b?The%20list%20to%20be%20unsubscribed%20from=Internet-history
