The GNU Name System

Re:The GNU Name System by hericium on Monday July 25, 2022 @06:14AM (#32222518)

Just came here with the same link in my clipboard and a question: What would be the reason for using "lsd" instead of popular IETF RFCs? The fact that RFC is supposed to open a dialogue/discussion and "lsd" is something final? (edit: it isn't; it's a IETF-style Internet-Draft). Other LSDs on that site link to RFCs.

And, um, second question: what does "lsd" stand for in this case?

It stands for "Living Standards Document": https://www.gnunet.org/en/livingstandards.html

I can't find much on what "LSD" means here. The root of the subdomain has no index, just a file listing.

Maybe due to the following?

>This specification was developed outside the IETF and does not have IETF consensus.

Most RFCs start without consensus as well, that's why they are Request For Comments, to reconcile about the idea/specification

This sentence is usually added for specifications which are submitted independently to the Independent Stream Editor, as opposed to drafts which are discussed in a WG at IETF.
