	Distribution of RIPE-area TLDs across a robust set of servers 
that are geographically diverse, and making this a "Best Current 
Practice" advocated by the WG, and then taking the next step and 
making this an actual RIPE requirement (and something that RIPE NCC 
could help make happen), is something that I think would be *VERY* 
good.

	I think the benefit to the Internet community as a whole could be 
almost unbelievable.
