Introduction 58 The Homenet working group has defined a mechanism for sharing 59 information between homenet routers, in Home Networking Control 60 Protocol [2]. That document recommends the use of the ".home" top- 61 level name as a locally-resolved domain name. 63 RFC7788 did not follow the process defined in Special Use Domain 64 Names [1]. It is likely that, had this process been followed, it 65 would not have been possible to gain consensus on the use of '.home' 66 as the locally-resolved special-use top-level name for homenets, 67 because this name is known to be informally in use by sites on the 68 internet, and the use to which this name has been put is not well 69 documented; it is impossible to say that there are no conflicting 70 uses for the name, and so getting consensus to use it anyway would 71 have been controversial, time consuming, and possibly futile. 73 The RFC6761 process is not well-understood within the IETF, and the 74 authors of RFC7788 were not aware of it. Normally, authors are not 75 expected to know all there is to know about IETF process, and IETF 76 leadership, specifically working group chairs, area directors and 77 directorate members are expected to engage in a review process that 78 notices oversights of this sort. 80 Unfortunately, in the case of RFC7788, none of the people who should 81 have caught the missing RFC6761 reference did catch it, and RFC 7788 82 was published as a consensus document that uses '.home' without ever 83 reserving it in the RFC6761 Special-Use Domain Names registry. 85 2. Updates to Home Networking Control Protocol 87 This document updates RFC 7788: '.home' MUST NOT be used as the 88 default name for resolution within the home network. The new default 89 value is specified in [3] 91 3. Normative References 93 [1] Cheshire, S. and M.
