Someone local searching for the document =may find it through the international document. =Why don't you let the user decide? While I do not want to comment on the usefulness of this approach - I'm certainly worried with the logistics. How would you keep the links "healthy" in the long run and the referred-to documents up-to-date? . Either store the documents where they are maintained --> broken links, eventually. . Or store the documents alongside with the parent doc at the RIPE-NCC --> non-trivial to make the access "secure" and at the same time resonably comfortable to ensure regular updates. = > The best = > compromise would be a short description in English of = > the procedures and policies, provided that is made very = > clear that said description does *not* formally take the = > role of the original documents. = =That would be excellent service o course. Nice to have, I agree. Otoh, I don't really understand the rationale to register a name in country when there is nobody available to cope with a local-language document... (Yes we keep getting such requests more frequently these days :-) =Daniel Wilfried. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wilfried Woeber : e-mail: Woeber at CC.UniVie.ac.at Computer Center - ACOnet : Vienna University : Tel: +43 1 4065822 355 Universitaetsstrasse 7 : Fax: +43 1 4065822 170 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe : NIC: WW144 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
