Your government is concerned about Resources that affect commerce. There is a Green Paper that should be reviewed by all those who are invloved with DNS. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/domainname130.htm NASA Integrated Services Network (NISN) ( formally NASA Science Internet (NSI) ) Root Nameserver Staff Member/ NASA Educational Research Network (NREN)/ Next Generation Internet (NGI) Steve Shultz _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ _/_/_/ Opinions expressed are those of the \_\_\_\_ _/_/_/_/ addressor ONLY [unless where noted]. \_\_\_\_\_ _/_/_/_/ shultz@nsipo.nasa.gov \_\_\_\_\_\_ _/_/_/_/ NASA Ames Research Center / Sterling Software \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ On Tue, 24 Feb 1998, William Allen Simpson wrote:

If you are happy with the proposal that NSI continue to be the monopoly registrar, for an extra 2 years, then do nothing.
Otherwise, perhaps you would be willing to send _your_ anecdotal experience to someone that could do something about it: your government minister, your US Congressional Representative or Senator, or the persons that schedule hearings on these matters.
If a US person or company, you might want to send a short note ASKING for the House Science committee (probably the technology sub-committee) to meet to review the NSF/NSI imbroglio, or ASKING for the House Commerce committee to review the Magaziner proposed Rule. Here are the general contacts:
James Sensenbrenner Science Committee 2320 Rayburn Washington DC 20515
Connie Morella Science Technology sub-committee 2319 Rayburn Washington DC 20515
