Abstract
Delegated namespaces underpin almost every Internet-scale system - domain name management, IP address allocation, Public Key Infrastructure, etc. - but are centrally managed by entities with unilateral revocation authority and no common interface. This draft specifies a generalized scheme for delegation that supports explicit time-bound guarantees and limits misuse. Mappings may be secured by any general purpose distributed consensus protocol that supports voting; clients can query the local state of any number of participants and receive the correct result, barring a compromise at the consensus layer.
