Please forgive my ignorance and allow me to ask, "where is it written that Supernational Registries may not receive multiple sub-TLAs?"
Is this a RIPE NCC interpretation of the bootstrap criteria or is it actually written down somewhere?
As far as I can see from a quick scan of rfc2928, it refers to "registries" only in terms of the RIRs and not as local IRs or other customers of the RIRs. Thus, I can only assume that restriction is the RIPE NCCs interpretation of the criteria. I intend to raise this issue at the LIR WG (which I co-chair) at RIPE40 in Prague in October. Any clarification from RIPE NCC staff prior to RIPE40 would be appreciated. James
