This document establishes the context and goals for a Common Name
Resolution Protocol.  It defines the terminology used concerning a
"Common Name" and how one might be "resolved", and establishes the
distinction between "resolution" and more elaborate search
mechanisms.  It establishes some expected contexts for use of Common
Name Resolution, and the criteria for evaluating a successful
protocol.  It also analyzes the various motivations that would cause
services to provide Common Name resolution for both public, private
and commercial use.
 
This document is intended as input to the formation of a Common Name
Resolution Protocol working group.  Please send any comments to
