AnonTechie writes with an article from El Reg:

NCC Group has published a set of security standards that you'll have to follow if you want to operate a .trust website.

The company owns the rights to sell dot-trusts, and uploaded the 124-page policy document [PDF] earlier this month. It provides a technical rundown covering network security to secure DNS settings, and NCC Group says the rules will be used as a configuration standard for all new dot-trust websites.

    I read it more as spyware/malware guys not welcome here.

    It reads like a check list of 'dont be a dick to your customers' and 'here are some good things to setup while configuring your system'.

    Except, as GP mentioned, they're pointless/badly written/misinformed/etc.

    >Do not host content with “dangerous” file extensions

    So, what? Let's say .docx is dangerous because they can contain embedded code, so as long as I don't host any files ending in .docx I'm fine? BRB, just going to `rename s/.docx/.not-docx/ *.docx` really quick.
