For example, earlier this year, we published a report on the impact of the sapphire worm on the Internet.Another example is a recent discussion on heise.de, on the unreachability on the .at ccTLD from the Telecom Austria network, involving some fingerpointing.NIC.AT already published the plots, but this could have been another case where we'd publish our data in order to (in)validate a claim.
I do not see ARIN or APNIC entered these kind of areas that are not "registration" orienated and as time moves on it would appear more and more RIPE services are not registration orienated.
2) is there any WG which could be polled or which has "adopted" this activity for definition and development (or is expected to do so)?
As soon as the AP2004 is approved, we (Daniel K and myself) will write an implementation document, describing the activities proposed under section 5 in more detail.This document will be circulated to, I'd guess, the services-WG and discussed there.
And you do not see this a procedurally wrong? Wherever I work, whenever they want to do "something new", they need to write it up fully, indicate the budget and manpower needed and then submit to management. Based on that info, management can make an intelligent decision. Instead, we have 1 paragraph describing what will be done in general and once the AP2004 is approved based on that, only then do we find out how much all this cost. I don't know a single company that works like this.
Cheers,
