Some ideas on the future direction of the RIPE TLD-WG

It still could be a forum for technical matters regarding DNS, e.g. secure DNS, WHOIS servers and clients, security, BIND stuff etc. but there is overlap with other WG's and CENTR as you notice. Therefore it might be that no specific TLD issues are left (well, maybe except technical management of a TLD name registry).
The suggestions I've seen for the technical workshop which CENTR is organising in conjunction with RIPE 34 seem to indicated that CENTR is trying to develop a set of technical activities. It may indeed be that only registries (only registries are members of CENTR) need to be involved in TLD issues. Is there another view ?

Hi!

Basically, if they come to common standards, then there's no need to intervene 8-) As we currently delegate domains from more than one country, some, ahem, standardisation might be useful. Currently, it's a mess with different rules, templates etc for each country with respect to almost everything. I'm not sure whether this deviation from common ground is obvious to the TLDs themselves, as they normally only deal with their own TLD 8-) -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 21 years to go !
