  Hi Gabor !

=>   The decision reached calls for an interim solution to add a referral
=>   mechanism to domain: objects.  This would only be used in (TLD) domain:
=>   objects that describe the TLD and point to the authoritative DB that holds
=>   the 2nd and any lower level data.
=
=Who are working on the referral mechanism?
=Is there some info on the net about the current state?

  Please see:
