I volunteered to summerize the current status of which registries are gov't funded, or university funded, etc. Here are the only 6 countries that answered: DE c IL b CZ c DK d - Eunet Denmark ES a BE a
a) government funded registry b) university funded registry c) country Internet consortium funded registry d) other
Based on such a small sample I don't think we can conclude anything. Anyone else care to respond to the survey? Hank

Hank, we didn't respond to your survey because I think your rather simple categories have a tendency to imply wrong and misleading things, and I simply do not have the time to start a big discussion on why the categories are wrong. But just as an example, take the answers from ES and BE: are the activities of the ES and BE registries really a line item in a budget of a federal office of their countries? Isn't it far more the case that these registries are run by national academic networks that are subsidised by their resp. governments, which is -NOT- the same as a direct government activity or direct government funding.

Sorry, Hank, I missed the questionaire. Here's the funding position of IP registries in Ireland (IE): A&R registry, operated by HEAnet, funded by the universities General purpose registry, operated and funded by IEunet Non-provider registry, operated and funded by IEunet Ihth. Mike
