Hi Paula!
Interesting question...
>The administrative person specified in the admin-c field must be
>physically located at the site of the network.
Reviewing some of my most recent assignments, I have to conclude that
this requirement is broken. E.g. where to "find" a suitable admin-c for
a regional school network? The responsible people, and thus the admin-c:
are civil servants located in some admin building. The network itself is
serving all the schools across a county/region/federal state.
Only occasionally would the admin-c be geographically co-located with
(parts of the) network.
I suppose a more reasonable requirement would be to have the admin-c
"belong" to the organisation requesting address space.
Btw, I'm working with that requirement for xx.ac.at domains, too. It has
proven to be sensible.
Wilfried.
