The only wrinkle I can think of here is who would then decide if a new site should come or go, or check up on a site in that zone if a random net user complains the site vanished. The options I can think of: 1) dnsadm@ (my guess is they don't want it but I can't ask). 2) the first entity that appears inside a new CC becomes the zone's administrative contact but dnsadm@ handles the nameservice on their behalf. 3) Someone volunteers to perform this role for any CC that can't handle their own DNS. They become the zone contact but (unless this volunteer can also supply their own DNS server too) they handle the actual updates by asking dnsadm@ to do it. 4) As someone else suggested - we recruit existing admins of delegated zones to handle the new CC in addition to their own. I'm sure there are more options... The easiest is probably (4). They also would be "entering" by having noticed there is no existing admin structure for their country code, and taking the next step described in the manual which is send mail to hubs@. Whoever is responsible for taking care of their email will need to fit into this somewhere. You make the most sense because they probably needed access to ftp-master. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
