Daniel,

As public policy officials in DG XIII who have liaison
responsibilities with the US State Department who are
discussing problems with DNS policy issues (e.g., see http://ksgwww.harvard.edu/iip/acicip.html
and http://ksgwww.harvard.edu/iip/intellec.html), they
have a interest in this topic to formulate a cohesive 
European position. DNS issues are impacting public interests
especially within an intellectual property context. For 
one example of domain name hijacking, see the attached
message. 

IMHO, I think it might be in RIPE's interest to cooperate 
a little more with them since the issues are clearly 
impacting outside a normal "Net" technical context.
