[dns-wg] RIPE NCC domain registrations

Looking over that list .. 

The .int - only a very small set of organisations could register one, so there’s absolutely no reason to keep it if it’s not being used. 

The hyphenated domains - is there any “risk” in dropping them? I sincerely doubt it

As for the rest - I’ve no strong feelings either way, but holding on to a bunch of domains “just because” is pointless

And I wasn’t even aware that RIPE would even need to consult with the community or members on this kind of administrative matter . .

Regards

Michele
