RFC1400 on Transition of Registration Services

Daniel,

   When I brief the InterNIC Registration Services I alway reference 
   delegated registries.  The RIPE NCC is the example that I give of 
   one that is correctly operated.  Somehow when writing this RFC I
   got caught-up in the operation of our facility and unintentionally 
   failed to say anything about the RIPE NCC.  I feel you are correct
   about the potential for mis-directed request. I will work with you
   either to add to RFC1400 or document the delegation of services to
   the RIPE NCC. I plan to be at the IETF most of the week.
