ICANN report on "dotless TLDs"

http://j.mp/PqtaTf  (ICANN)

   "On 23 February 2012, the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory
    Committee (SSAC) published SAC 053: SSAC Report on Dotless Domains
    [PDF, 183 KB]. In this report, the SSAC stated that dotless domains
    would not be universally reachable and the SSAC recommended strongly
    against their use. As a result, the SSAC recommended that the use of
    DNS resource records such as A, AAAA, and MX in the apex of a
    Top-Level Domain (TLD) should be contractually prohibited where
    appropriate, and strongly discouraged in all cases."
