Back in the day, RFC1918 defined a number of IP address ranges that were not to be routed, such as 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 which became widely used for Network Address Translation. There was not really any similar type of Top Level Domain defined in a similar manner, and this is being explored in order to avoid collisions from a diversity of ad-hoc approaches that have caused issues over the years.
ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee has published a document related to TLD namespaces that might be used in private networks, with advice related to them. No domain names were recommended, this is just being shared as a placeholder to ensure it is something that stakeholders here in the dev community are aware of as it evolves and some TLDs are perhaps defined.
