Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Pirrone, Arnaldo
13 March 2024

Submission Summary:

I am in favour for the adoption of the .internal. string as reserved TLD for local DNS resolution, and I think that every manufacturer, network administrator or owner of network device in their right mind should as well find themselves in agreement.


Not really a problem if it's a few more characters long, the DNS search domain feature may come in handy albeit it's not always the case. The word "internal" is really suggestive a......


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Amazon
11 March 2024

Submission Summary:

Amazon supports SSAC’s recommendation that the ICANN Board identify and reserve a top-level domain (“TLD”) for private use, and refrain from delegating it in the future. We also agree with IANA’s determination that “.INTERNAL” meets to criteria outlined by SSAC and should be selected for this purpose.

Amazon makes extensive use of the “.INTERNAL” TLD within our network for infrastructure that is only accessible locally. Unsurprising......


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Eckert, Toerless
27 February 2024

Submission Summary:

I would like to see a BCP RFC on the use of the "internal" TLD, and ICANN should not finalize availability of the TLD unless that RFC exists.

Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Google
21 February 2024

Submission Summary:

Google endorses the use of ".internal" as a private use and reserved TLD. The string meets the primary criteria for such an internal use name and is already in use for this purpose among a number of organizations.


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - The IO Foundation
15 February 2024

Submission Summary:

The IO Foundation does not believe that .internal should ever be considered under different scripts than Latin.


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC)
08 February 2024

Submission Summary:


SSAC2024-01 is a public comment issued by the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) supporting the IANA's determination to reserve ".INTERNAL" for private use as outlined in SAC113: the SSAC Advisory on Private-Use TLDs. The SSAC confirms that the reservation of ".INTERNAL" meets the selection criteria specified in Section 4.1 of SAC113. The document further references Appendix A of SAC113, which provides additional......


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Adams, John
08 February 2024

Submission Summary:

Multiple TLDs are needed to support private networks of various sizes. Please include ".lan" (local area network) and ".wan" (wide area network) in addition to ".internal" as reserved TLDs for private networks. This will provide flexibility when designing private networks and eliminate name conflicts with potential future public domain names.

Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Martinez, Federico
04 February 2024

Submission Summary:

I support the idea of having at least one reserved TLD for internal use, specially for usage with IPv6 addresses since they are harder to memorize.


I also agree with others that .internal is long and that having another option such as .lan would be ideal.


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - R, B
04 February 2024

Submission Summary:

What strikes me most is that, to this day, the reserved, non-routable IP address ranges were associated with unresolvable .local domains.

The logic was coherent.


With your proposal, you want to provide a *public* resolution of non-routable IP addresses: this means first and foremost a leak…

An attacker wishing to enumerate targets on a non-routable network will then be able to listen to DNS traffic to gather inform......


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Kumari, Warren
01 February 2024

Submission Summary:

[ Speaking as an individual only.]


As the author of a draft in the IETF which originally proposed this (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/pdf/draft-wkumari-dnsop-internal-00), and one of the primary authors of ICANN SSAC113, I fully support the IANA's proposed string.



In addition to meeting the criteria in SAC113 (as demonstrated by .internal being used in the examples) .internal is currently the hig......


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Hart, Matthew
01 February 2024

Submission Summary:

.lan, .local, and .internal would all be appropriate options.

The benefit of .internal is that it is much less likely to be already currently deployed across internal network services currently. .local can be seen at the local domain level quite frequently. With that in mind, .lan is much shorter and still well understood by most.

It was mentioned in the proposal that .internal carries the implication that it is never accessible t......


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Simpson, Colin
01 February 2024

Submission Summary:

An excellent suggestion to reserve a private top-level domain.

".internal" is a bit long, is a minor comment.

I don't see why you don't just reserve the sensible top 5 or 10 currently used internal TLD (which isn't a large number).

You might as well as people will probably keep using these anyway, so it's not like they can be assigned easily.

i.e. home, lan, dhcp, corp, internal, localdomain, intra


Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use Submission - Moravec, Pavel
01 February 2024

Submission Summary:

The internal root domain seems to be unsuitable due to its length - if needed to be typed manually - and (already in document) mentioned confusion with .int by users. Why was a TLD SELF, i.e. .self. not considered, as it seems to be unallocated and not a part of even unofficially used root domains (unlike the .here. domain which would have been even better, but is already allocated)?
