DNS Top Level Domain Questionnaire

Dear Guy,

> Hello again folks,

You're right, but be patient. Despite I've promoted this initiative
I've been too busy to be able to give a thoughtful answer.

> To anyone who is delaying their response I would say, please return your

> reservations to the usefulness of such a source of information, I
> consider it would be extremely useful as an initial reference.  I take

> in other countries and also of trying to help organise a useable 'NIC'
> system for the UK without any information or guidance from other
> countries' NICs.

> To those of you from whom I have received replies, thankyou again for

As a conseguence of some reactions to the questionnaire I suggest to
recirculate it with a clear statement that the results will be made
available to the TLD administrators but will not be published.

During the WG meeting it wasn't clearly decided to make this
information accessible to everyone and, since there is somebody who
does not like that, we have to be prudent.

I suggest to ask RIPE-NCC to create a private repository to be used by
an entity we can call "European TLD forum".

> I look forward to your responses in the near future.
