Should there be a max? The current longest TLD is 18 characters (.travelersinsurance)

@skendrot , the reason why i wanted this to be empty because if at all if in future TLD is increased, it will not affect the control.

[skendrot]

I agree, but do we think a max of 25-30-50 makes sense? Or just leave it at max?

[avknaidu]

after your comment, i did a little search on longest TLD's and found this. According to this post, at the time of writing ( Aug 7 2015), it was 14 characters long, But if you scroll all the way to end, you can see some with 24 characters.

My gut says give a max of 30.

[skendrot]

I used Wikipedia to find the longest. I did not count the xn-- DNS names because the actual TLD are Chinese characters

[avknaidu]

So shall i update it to 30?

I would prefer to see a max, but I would not say it's a requirement. Would love to know other thoughts as well. @nmetulev @IbraheemOsama

[nmetulev]

I'm ok with it not having a max If there is no max requirement for TLDs. Is there a downside with no max?

[skendrot]

TLDs have to be approved. One cannot just create their own TLD. However, it seems that any TLD is getting approved these days!

[nmetulev]

Exactly my point :)
