Draft minutes of ripe22-dnswg

    A European 'TLD' forum might be useful, and the first move
    should be to collect how TLD management is done over Europe.
    Different countries have different policies, etc.
There's no need to collect such information: see below.
    
    Some multinational company which wants to create a bunch of
    domains in different countries needs more information on how
    this can be done and who should be contacted.
In that case they simply ask the contact person for
the top level domain(s) involved and they'll get the
document with the conditions. But they should count
on the document being available *only* in the national
language, with no authoritative translation being or
ever being made available in any other language. This
will be the case in particular in those countries
where e.g. a prerequisite is that a domain requestor
be registered with some official body like a Chamber
of Commerce in the country. Political questions like
how the conditions are or have been established are
irrelevant for companies, providers, or anyone else
requesting a domain registration. To put it another
way: such questions won't be answered.
