I suggest that if the RIPE need another provider that they take time and issue a proper RFI/P/Q through the European Journal. It does ask an interesting question over disaster recovery in situations like this.

Hmmm? As far as I can see, RIPE has enough providers. The problem is that the ccTLD secondary server hosted at KQ broke - which isn't RIPEs fault, and doesn't even host anything RIPE is master for (like ripe.net or the *.in-addr.arpa zones).

Hence why I said "if the RIPE need another provider". Note the part that has "if" in it. Regards, Neil.
