There is no particular reason that these would have to be government records in order for NSF to direct NSI with respect to the contents of the root zone. NSI, by the nature of an existing cooperative agreement, could easily accept such direction. I will note that there are some rather interesting consequences to having records classified as "government records" (e.g. FOIA) and it may actually help put such information directly into the hands of direct marketing folks. I'm not suggesting that having NSI believe the database to be corporate property is any better, only that we face a non-trivial situation here. /John
