Thanks for this list, which seems very useful to me.

I have three questions regarding this list:

1. Reading from the text accompaning the list it is not clear to me when
   an organisation can be added to the list. In other words what are
   the criteria for being on the list. E.g., is it possible that FooBar,
   Inc., is added to this list as a Provider, without further info?

2. You say that some organizations appear on the list twice, since they
   have the Provider and the Non-Provider role. Well, in the list for NL
   I only see SURFnet once. Or did I misunderstand this thing?

3. This is more or less a feeling-issue (and *no*, I am not a native
   speaker), but SURFnet is listed as "Non-Service Provider". This
   sounds to me as "Provider of a Non-Service". Maybe another word
   could be used, such as "NIC of last resort" or "Default NIC". But
   again, I am not a native speaker.
