The .nl registry is one that needs indeed some checking. I recently
received a net- article which bitterly complained about the total
arbitrariness with which the Dutch registry allows and disallows second
level domain names.
But according to the IDNO membership criteria, it will be hard to recruit
members there. No individual domains. Only individuals that own small
companies with DN's could be members.
And individuals who register .com's, which should be many.
Onno, how is ISOC doing in Holland? Do they protest against the illogical
policies for second level names?
