- What We Hope Is An Official List of Host Names Richard W. Watson
- SRI-ARC
-
- The enclosed is what we hope will be accepted as a list of
- official formal host names and nicknames. As no other subject
- worked on by the NWG has generated so much comment, it is
- worthwhile to review briefly how this list came into being.
-
- The need for some standard set of names recognized by NCP's and
- Telnets and usable on hardcopy to designate a persons affiliation
- had been recognized for some time and several sets of names were
- in use.
-
- Peggy Karp issued the first formal proposal of a set of standard
- names in RFC 226, NIC 7625. This proposal was answered by a
- number of counter proposals and culminated in RFC 247, NIC 7688.
- People still were not happy with this proposal as names normally
- associated with hosts or projects were not used.
-
- At the last NWG meeting a number of people discussed the name
- problem and agreed that the only reasonable compromise solution
- was to have both formal names and nicknames and to let the people
- at the hosts choose their own names within the guideline which the
- previous dialog had seemed to agree on.
-
- The guidelines were summarized in RFC 273, NIC 7837 and the NIC
- agreed to collect and publish the names that the people at each
- host indicated they desired. A number of names were received and
- a tentative list was published as RFC 280, NIC 8060. More people
- responded with their desired names or changed the ones in the
- above list.
-
- Almost all sites have since responded and the following list
- resulted.
-
- I think people should feel free to change their host name when
- ever the situation warrants.
