Keep the agencies of the United States government out of this. This sounds like NSI is trying to wiggle out of participation in CORE. NSI does not like a solution that provides no guarantee that NSI will be one of the new registries. This is Washington politics - SNAFU and FUD. Operators, read the documentation and decide for yourself. http://www.iahc.org/ The IETF COREdb working group is defining a technical solution to "too much bureaucracy." Who thinks the FCC can be less burocratic than a shared database? Do I see any hands? If you agree with the IAHC solution then show your support and advocate that your company sign the MoU. --- On Mon, 21 Apr 1997 23:50:18 -0700 "Charles R.

It will be because we cannot set a direction and march collectively into the future. -- http://info.isoc.org/internet-history/#Future - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
