* [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc3454 RFC 3454], [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc3490 RFC 3490], and [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc3491 RFC 3491] for IDNA 2003, the first standard for [[IDN]]s
* [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5895 RFC 5895] and [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6452 RFC 6452] for IDNA 2008, the current standard for [[IDN]]s
* [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6014 RFC 6014] and [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6605 RFC 6605] for [[DNSSEC]]
* [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6698 RFC 6698] for DANE

* [http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7085 RFC 7085] about [[TLD]]s that are already dotless
His ICANN work includes helping prepare "[http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-06dec13-en.htm Name Collision Identification and Mitigation for IT Professionals]".
He is also the originator and editor of the [http://getdnsapi.net/ getdns] specification, which is a modern application program interface (API) for the DNS. [[Verisign]] is sponsoring an implementation of that API.
