This is really something to discuss with the registry concerned. There should be some forum where its customers -- or stakeholders -- can influence policy. However registries don't usually run DNS consultancy businesses, so there will be limits on what they can and cannot do. It's hard to see where chatty help messages for the DNS-clueless would stop and DNS consulting starts: how much help and advice is "enough"? And how much of that consultancy can a registry afford to do when it's only getting a few bucks for the registration?

Well, someone from AFNIC will be talking about their new delegation checking tools and processes at the WG tomorrow. The presentation should be on the RIPE web site by early next week at the latest. I'm hoping the WG will use tomorrow's session on delegation checking to work on this topic: perhaps produce a BCP or something like that. If this gets under way, it would be useful to get contributions on things like the nature of error messages and so on.
