+What We Hope Is An Official List of Host Names Richard W. Watson
+ SRI-ARC
+
+ The enclosed is what we hope will be accepted as a list of
+ official formal host names and nicknames. As no other subject
+ worked on by the NWG has generated so much comment, it is
+ worthwhile to review briefly how this list came into being.
+
+ The need for some standard set of names recognized by NCP's and
+ Telnets and usable on hardcopy to designate a persons affiliation
+ had been recognized for some time and several sets of names were
+ in use.
+
+ Peggy Karp issued the first formal proposal of a set of standard
+ names in RFC 226, NIC 7625. This proposal was answered by a
+ number of counter proposals and culminated in RFC 247, NIC 7688.
+ People still were not happy with this proposal as names normally
+ associated with hosts or projects were not used.
+
+ At the last NWG meeting a number of people discussed the name
+ problem and agreed that the only reasonable compromise solution
+ was to have both formal names and nicknames and to let the people
+ at the hosts choose their own names within the guideline which the
+ previous dialog had seemed to agree on.
+
+ The guidelines were summarized in RFC 273, NIC 7837 and the NIC
+ agreed to collect and publish the names that the people at each
+ host indicated they desired. A number of names were received and
+ a tentative list was published as RFC 280, NIC 8060. More people
+ responded with their desired names or changed the ones in the
+ above list.
+
+ Almost all sites have since responded and the following list
+ resulted.
+
+ I think people should feel free to change their host name when
+ ever the situation warrants.
