This DNSMON/ENUM proposal is well supported, and looks likely to be approved.
Following the discussion, I see three voices of support and one voice of doubt (plus other voices that go into technicalities without expressing a clear voice in either direction). I'm not sure whether I see this as "well supported". Just because you have a different opinion from Jim doesn't mean his points are invalid or he is doing a bad job as board member. Personally, I can see both sides of the debate, and my suggestion would be "have those that use DNSMON pay a fair price for it" ("those" would be "owners/operators of DNS servers that are monitored"). I do think that the RIPE NCC is uniquely qualified to run the job - due to its proven neutrality and competence - but indeed, there is a certain danger of distorting the market, so this should not be "for free".
