Anne,
The problem is that "internet registry of last resort" probably implies the wrong thing.
To me "neutral registry" means that it would be possible to have more than one of these. "Registry of last Resort" implies that here is somewhere you can go to "in the last resort' (and that correctly reflects the role of these registries) and there would only be one such organisation.
"Registry of last Resort" sounds pretty neat to me!
Agreed. I suppose most Non-Service Providers are Service Providers too. (I haven't checked this though.) This would give you 2 entries in the list, and thus the "wrong implication" wouldn't really be there. A remark at the top of the list, saying that you can always ask the last resort in case of questions (and of course the RIPE NCC (already mentioned)) would make it all up. -- Robert Martin-Legene, robert@dknet.dk DKnet, Fruebjergvej 3, DK-2100 Kobenhavn O, +45 39 17 99 00
