<div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Hi-</font></font></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br></font></font></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Perhaps my suggestion was better for off-list, and I certainly don't know if it would be the magic solution for .cw, but it certainly could not hurt them to submit their entry to the PSL. I do hope it contributes to the solution for them.</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">The PSL is something that the application development community uses to enhance the IANA list for a variety of uses, typically for understanding what might be valid on the rightmost side of addresses. </font><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"> Many app developers don't closely watch the IANA root list, and want to know how to have a more elegant understanding and handling of the right hand side of addresses that are parsed, going deeper than just the TLD itself.</span></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">I don't have an opinion on if it is right or wrong, but it has been around for some time, and a few years back I saw it was out of synch with the TLD community and have put a lot of volunteer time into trying to correct that. I am on temporary hiatus, but when not on exclusive projects, I volunteer time and experience to the initiative as it needs tighter nexus with the DNS community. Many of you have perhaps seen me presenting it at ICANN meetings within the CCNSO tech day or other forums to help elevate awareness in the past few years. </font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">The hope and purpose is to bridge the application development world so as to increase better sophistication for developers about TLDs and reduce legacy problems like simple TLD tests (ie >3 chars = invalid which broke forms or other functionality for info, museum, aero, mobi, travel etc. as they launched) .</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">It is a central system managed by the community, kept up to date by volunteers, and used by numerous software developers, programming languages, browsers (cookies), search engines, security software, and many other places.</span></div>

<div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br></font></font></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Definitely worth folks on this list being aware of it. Being able to positively impact how your zone operates within the application development community is a valuable resource.</font></font></font></div>

</div>A reader even more nazi than I am suggested a definition closer to the<br>
DNS semantics:<br>
<br>
A suffix is any sequence of labels ending a domain name.<br>
