also got a similar email this morning. On the SWITCH website, I couldn't find a clear not-for-profit statement. It says that the organization is founded by several cantons and their Universities. I admit they could actually be a for-profit organization belonging to cantons -- same as

In their defense, they have lowered the registration fees at least three times in the last 8-9 years. That does show some lack of commercial interest. hm... wasn't this because of the weko or some other institution forced them to lower the fees? -steven

Hi, in my opinion, we should refer to the domain registry as NIC/CH (or nic.ch) It shouldn't be named SWITCH. SWITCH can operate them as long as they have the mission from the OFCOM/BAKOM (expires 2014?). But the name should be NIC/CH and no mention of any SWITCH services should be made with

Hi all, This morning I got a mail from switch, our official swiss dns registry. I remember that switch itself made years ago some policies to not use the dns root .ch for advertising. And unfortunatly that's exactly what happens here, IMHO this mail advertises nothing else than 'switch plus'

I agree, that SWITCH should not have included this switchplus part in their info mail, as it's completely unrelated to the rest of the information. Also the banner on their website doesn't belong there, as no other entity can buy banner space there. The best reaction might be a letter to the
