>It is not clear to me what the difference is between "ETLDF" and the >DNS-WG is. Actually, I think this is a very interesting question. I think we would never have asked ourself this question if we hadn't received the (for me) surprising formal statement from the Dutch Naming Authority! I'd like to think that most of the parties involved are slightly over-reacting. On the other hand, we have had a couple of issues in the past where I perceived a less than perfect agreement between RIPE-WGs and the points of view of some TLD administrator... > Further the request was for a closed repository. These are I think this is really a minor issue - if the RIPE-NCC is not the proper place to store non-public information, well then there is alternatives available. My *personal* point of view is that DNS coordination, and TLD administration, with all of it's aspects should be an open activity. If some of the TLD administrations do think otherwise, then this should be sorted out first. The other conclusions would then be rather easy, I suppose. >both different from EOF. EOF is a normal RIPE working group governed by >the RIPE Terms of Reference and any of their material stored at the NCC >is publicly available. > >In other words: If the RIPE-DNS WG asks for an open repository there is >no problem and we will do it immediately. If a closed subgroup asks for >a closed repository this needs consultation with the RIPE chair, the WG >chair and possibly the contributors. Reasonable. More so as there is not necessarily a direct realtionship between a TLD administration function and the RIPE-NCC contributions. >Please understand that I take this slightly more formally than usual >because it is a matter of principle that all activities of RIPE and RIPE >working groups are open. I support this view. Although I have the feeling that the reasoning about how and/or where to store this type of information was fairly less formal :-) Wilfried. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wilfried Woeber : e-mail: Woeber at CC.UniVie.ac.at Computer Center - ACOnet : Vienna University : Tel: +43 1 4065822 355 Universitaetsstrasse 7 : Fax: +43 1 4065822 170 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe : NIC: WW144 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
