Dear Guy,
Hello again folks,
Response to the questionnaire has, so far, been a bit disappointing. I have received only eight filled in questionnaires.
You're right, but be patient. Despite I've promoted this initiative I've been too busy to be able to give a thoughtful answer.
To anyone who is delaying their response I would say, please return your filled in questionnaire as soon as possible so that the information can be quickly collated and prepared for publication. Despite some people's reservations to the usefulness of such a source of information, I consider it would be extremely useful as an initial reference. I take this position based on personal experience of trying to register domains in other countries and also of trying to help organise a useable 'NIC' system for the UK without any information or guidance from other countries' NICs.
To those of you from whom I have received replies, thankyou again for spending the time. I hope to have something for publication in the next few weeks (providing I get some more replies quickly) and I will publish the URL to this group once the page is available.
As a conseguence of some reactions to the questionnaire I suggest to recirculate it with a clear statement that the results will be made available to the TLD administrators but will not be published. During the WG meeting it wasn't clearly decided to make this information accessible to everyone and, since there is somebody who does not like that, we have to be prudent. I suggest to ask RIPE-NCC to create a private repository to be used by an entity we can call "European TLD forum".
I look forward to your responses in the near future.
