As requested at the last RIPE meeting, I have set up a new mailing list for TLD administrators: tld-admin@ripe.net. This is a closed mailing list; per request of the WG, only people who are maintaining a TLD are allowed to subscribe. As we need to verify requestor's affiliation, please send subscription requests to tld-admin-request@ripe.net including the name of the TLD you are administering. Please keep in mind that we need to verify things by hand and therefore some time may lapse processing requests. The maillist is archived, but again only privately so if you need a copy of the archive, please ask tld-admin-request@ripe.net. I'd like the TLD-admins to consider if they feel it is a good idea that the parties listed in RFC1591 (IANA, APNIC, InterNIC and RIPE NCC) are also allowed to subscribe or if the list should be restricted to TLD admins only. Let's party! Geert Jan
