“The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has made a provisional determination that “.INTERNAL” should be reserved for private-use and internal network applications.”
SSAC asked for a reserved private TLD in September 2020. The Board passed a resolution in 2022, another in 2023, and now opens another comment period until March. Meanwhile every corporate network has spent years squatting on .local, .corp and .lan and breaking things. Four years to reserve one word nobody is allowed to buy.
