3.3.1 Becoming Root
would seem to be operational technique, neither ietf standards material nor
iana policy

3.3.1 Reserved TLDs in the IN CLASS
would seem to be new policy.  it might benefit from detailed explanation
before ietf should assert it.

3.3.2 'Country Code' TLDs in the IN CLASS
would seem to be political policy, and some of it steps quite beyond current
policy and beyond the ietf's purview, e.g.

   A country code for a territory with a generally recognized acting
   government should be considered part of the territory of that
   government.  Decisions by said government as to who should control
   the DNS for that TLD are final and unappealable.

[ let's restrict namedroppers discussion to the technical issue of ietf's
  relevance to the item, and take the political part to some icann list ]

3.3.3 Other TLDs in the IN CLASS
seems entirely icann/iana political policy

in general, there seems to be confusion between standards in the ietf
purview and icann/iana political policy.  for an rfc, the latter might be
removed.
