Since a storm seems to be rising about this and it threatens to leave the tea cup here is some perspective.
Which book is that from?
My own ;-).
I really can't call it spam ...
A matter of definition. Maybe I was a bit harsh using the word spam. My feeble excuse for being harsher than usual is that <rant> I returned from holidays recently found my daniel.karrenberg@ripe.net mailbox had grown about 3000 messages **each day**. Also the spam-filtering of the NCC was not only letting about 10% of it through but was also starting to generate false positives. This SPAM filtering is maintained by competent professionals, and *still* I have to resort to personal whitelisting now and spend significant amout of time to weed out messages which I do not want. </rant> Daniel sent these messages to multiple mailing lists and he did not take the hint when his messages were not re-distributed to nanog; instead he sent them twice with different message-ids, causing the messages to land in my mailbox twice. So I decided to give him another hint, he took it as an official request, and the storm-in-a-teacup started.
... Which sources may that be that report about nameservers? (There is unfortunatly no IPv6-wg resource page and google can't seem to find them for me either)
google(dns delegation check) does it for me. The fourth hit is for http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/r45-minutes.html Check out agenda point F. There are tools available with well defined and discussed methodologies.
Next to that, it is quite apparent that the operator(s) in question are not really watching their own infrastructure, which is basically their work, at all.... that gives one to wonder...
I agree. But why do regular messages about this belong into the mailbox of all subscribers of all the lists Daniel posts to?
It would have been more acceptable to say something like: "Hey, I have made this useful report. What do you think about it? If you are interested you can subscribe to regular reports here."
Indeed, where can I request to signup for this as I think it is very useful ....
