   This item (TLD questionary) is connected with latest changes
in .XXX domain registration policy (payment). I think we (DNS WG, 
not TLD representative) understand - that can happens in future
with such policies and that problems we can meet with it.
As first step this TLD questionary is good direction - what is near us
in the another countries. And TLD represenattivies can answer on this
questionaries with understanding of this task - his answers on it may
be not full and may be not very correct - it is the only survey
in purpose of DNS WG. The result of this survey can't be used
as reference material for specific country TLD policy.

   If TLD representativies want establish closed group for some task
they can define target of it and make it, of course. But in my mind
it isn't DNS WG job.

   In my mind at least TLD is free of charge you right.
But first step to introduce payments may be to restrict circulation of
some information. Of course, the undesire of answer for survey
may be another - for exam rules written in national language.
   In any way we can promise to use the result of TLD questionary
as survey only.
