Draft minutes of ripe22-dnswg

I take this as a suggestion to correct the minutes: actually the main
reason to collect such information which emerged during the WG was
to help the TLD administrators in their task by knowing how other
countries do that and having the possibility to keep themselves
aligned to the mean behaviour if they wish, in order to reduce
as much as possible disputes about registration requests.
