Referring to: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2005-2.html The author's email address on the page is "@localhost". A few thoughts on the restrictions on this: "gTLD" usually means "generic Top Level Domain". There are also "sTLD" - sponsored TLD. (Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTLD, at the bottom of the page there's a box that breaks gTLDs into sTLDs and other categories.) Sometimes "interesting" zones are not the TLD but one under the TLD. E.g., .co.tld. or .com.tld. I think that these should be eligible. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar Nothin' more exciting than going to the printer to watch the toner drain...
