The IESG has concluded that there is no conflict between this document and IETF work.

Additionally, the IESG requests the following note be added to the document if it is published:

The IAB has stated that dotless domains are considered harmful. 

http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2013-2/iab-statement-dotless-domains-considered-harmful/

There is IETF  consensus on the the expected behavior of resolvers, inclusive of queries to the  root zone. The IAB  cites standards track documents including RFC 1034 RFC 1123 RFC 3397 and RFC 3646 in support of their position.

The author of  hoffine-already-dotless-01 chose not take a position as to whether they 
are harmful or not, however the IESG believes that TLD operators who currently publish
dotless domain records should remove them.
