I have already sugested to invite Richar and anybody else from IANA to our meeting. Shall I do this if in case Jim is too busy? > We can of course discuss these topics on this list.

To repeat: IANA is alread offering a service that very much looks like what the SE people asked for. IANA is the best place to do this because it is at the right place in the DNS tree to do this without the danger of creating a separate trust hierarchy. As to productively using time: We should use our time to learn about this service and discuss the questions 2-5 in the light of giving suggestions to the IANA. We should also draft a statement that (the) RIPE (DNS WG) could adopt welcoming and endorsing this initiative by the IANA and re-inforcing it by stating that we will not take our own initiativesin this area as long as this service remains available while the root is not signed.
