We pay for our service to be monitored, but everyone can see the results of that monitoring, and that motivates us to ensure good service. For us to act in that way we have to have total trust in the impartiality of the organisation providing that service. All the commercial organisations suggested in a previous email (Verisign, Neustar, Afilias) as potential suppliers are also potential commercial rivals to us as a TLD registry. I have no reason to doubt they would act scrupulously, but I would have reservations about using them all the same. The other potential suppliers (Centr, IANA, Caida) would be a closer fit, but none have shown an inclination to offer such a service. Ian
