3. This is more or less a feeling-issue (and *no*, I am not a native speaker), but SURFnet is listed as "Non-Service Provider". This sounds to me as "Provider of a Non-Service". Maybe another word could be used, such as "NIC of last resort" or "Default NIC". But again, I am not a native speaker.

Would 'Service-Provider' and 'No Service-Provider' sound better to you?

Geert Jan, seems like the term "Registry of last resort" to describe the current "Non Provider" label agrees with a number of people. Unless anyone has any better suggestions I propose to go with this. anne
