It is not clear to me what the difference is between "ETLDF" and the
DNS-WG is.  Further the request was for a closed repository.  These are
both different from EOF.  EOF is a normal RIPE working group governed by
the RIPE Terms of Reference and any of their material stored at the NCC
is publicly available. 

In other words: If the RIPE-DNS WG asks for an open repository there is
no problem and we will do it immediately.  If a closed subgroup asks for
a closed repository this needs consultation with the RIPE chair, the WG
chair and possibly the contributors. 

Please understand that I take this slightly more formally than usual
because it is a matter of principle that all activities of RIPE and RIPE
working groups are open.
