| Hi Niall,
| 
| Let me make some remarks about this. We probably should this dicuss
| in details this later at the meeting.
| 
|     This message from the RIPE-NCC Database Group shows that a
|     number of domain registries appear among the top-scoring
|     maintainers of inconsistent objects in the RIPE Database.
| 
| Yeah, and we're the winner! And we could have done better :-). I'll
| discuss the situation further on.
| 
|     Irrespective of the future of the TLD-WG, we need to identify
|     how best to address these concerns and, in particular, this
|     problem of inconsistent objects.
| 
| Let me start to raise some questions. Citating (probably incorrectly)
| Daniel Karrenberg, ``Ripe is in the IP-number business, not in the
| naming business''. Given that, one wonders whether domein name
| objects should be part of the Ripe database at all. Since Centr is
| now in de name business, I wonder whether control of this part of
| the database should not be adressed bij Centr.

    This has been brought to the attention of CENTR some time ago already.
    There are a few possibilities:

       + CENTR takes over this activity

       + RIPE NCC keeps on doing it, covered by an agreement with CENTR

       + forget about the whole thing

    It is one of the issues that CENTR should (and will) be discussing
    amongst themselves.
