	Interesting.  As you may remember, the issue of lame delegations 
is something that I have been concerned about for some time, since 
taking over responsibility for the lamers.sh script from Bryan 
Beecher.

	I have been a little lax with regards to this program over the 
last few years, but within the last few months I've been thinking 
that it would be good to get back to work on it, and take it to the 
next logical level.


	Specifically, I was thinking about a distributed collection 
script and a centralized checking facility, where results could be 
posted to the appropriate mailing lists and newsgroups, in much the 
same way as the reports made by Rob Thomas to the NANOG mailing list 
(especially his "lame delegation" report at 
<http://www.cymru.com/DNS/lame.html>).


	Perhaps this is something that could be done in conjunction with 
the RIRs?  Could we all pool our resources?  Perhaps we can talk to 
Rob as well?
