Well, then ask yourself: how much different is your workflow, e.g. from the one from .at 8-) ?
What exactly is your point ?

Hi!
Well, then ask yourself: how much different is your workflow, e.g. from the one from .at 8-) ?
What exactly is your point ?
The RIPE TLD-WG might try to get a standards discussion started for all technical interfaces into DNS registration: - whois query interface - template syntax - syntax checks on fields - Validity checks - Change/Modify interface in short, for every aspect required to automate as many tasks as possible for domain delegation. Here's an example: whois -h whois.nic.nl erco.nl gives: Rights restricted by copyright. See http://www.domain-registry.nl/dbcopyright.html Domain name: erco.nl Organisation: Erco Lighting Nederland B.V. Gooimeer 13 1411 DE Naarden Administrative Contact: R. Pieterman Phone: +31 35 6949900 E-mail: postmaster at erco.nl Technical Contact: Henry Moes Phone: +31 20 4952727 E-mail: domain-admin at nl.uu.net [...] The same query for erco.ch gives: domainname: erco.ch domaintype: A nserver: ns2.lf.net [212.9.160.1] nserver: ns2.pcom.de [194.25.152.9] nserver: ns.oberon.net [195.206.130.8] ownertype: O registered: 980828 changed: 990804 applicant: "Michael Schenk" <mschenk at bakunini.LF.net> org-name: ERCO Leuchten GmbH org-address: Brockhauser Weg 80-82 org-zipcode: D-58507 org-city: Luedenscheid org-country: Germany serialno: 00102139 source: CHDOMREG [...] Now the same query in the UK gives: Domain Name: ERCO.CO.UK Registered For: Erco Lighting Ltd Domain Registered By: WWS Registered on 27-Oct-1997. Record last updated on 27-Oct-1997 by simonh at web-services.co.uk. The same goes for templates for new/changed domains, billing formats, billing information ("hey, your domain is up for renewal") etc. While it might be interesting for you to write interfaces into those many different formats, it is not for me. If - this is not relevant to the TLD-WG, - or the discussion in the past showed this problem unsolvable, - or this should be handled by CENTR no problem with that, I'm just asking whether this might be interesting for TLD-WG, because @RIPE, ISPs are mostly presented and they have most of the problems with TLD-NICs. -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 21 years to go !
