Dear TLD Administrators,

I expect that many of you will have had the attached message from
NetSearchers.  I find the proposed survey and guide useful.  As they
suggest, I've referred to Willie Black; he speaks well of them.

I intend to co-operate in this project, and suggest that you all
consider doing the same.

I'll forward Willie's comments in a following mail.

Dear Mr O'Reilly

Net Searchers is a company that supplies specialist services to legal

monitoring Internet audits and, of course, domain name registrations.

Our client base includes the leading law firms in the UK Internet
community, we realise that there is considerable demand for this
information. To help us improve the service that we give our clients
we have begun a research project to profile each of the European NICs.

community, we  ealise that there is considerable demand for this
information. Therefore we plan to publish the information at our web
site and in a report to be distributed free of charge to all
interested parties.

We will be encouraging organisations like your own to link into it.

If successful we aim to produce further editions at regular intervals.
We hope that you wil co-operate with us in this project by supplying
