DNS TF meeting

     	except for a special one ("*td") for the top
     	level domains, which would then contain an
     	attribute ("*ws") pointing to the whois server
     	for that top level domain. RIPE's whois server
     	can than act as a "forwarder" for requests for
     	<domain>.<top_level_domain> (much like DNS!),
     	thus keeping the current whois service, but
     	resulting in far more up-to-date and reliable
     	information.
    Commenting here from a RIPE database implementers' point
    of view, this can be done.
Good. Actually I didn't expect otherwise.

    Again, as with most changes to the software this will
    take time.
Hours? ;-)

    And general concensus of course..... It's the folks
    involved with the DNS objects that need to push this,
    not the NCC.
True. Although I'd say it's in the interest of the
NCC too to keep the whois service running, or the
current service will simply die as far as information
about domains is concerned.
