Any plans to offer DNSMON also for the ngTLDs (maybe as paid service)?

For all those who do not fulfill current criteria, there is another way to use features of DNSMON -- it's called DomainMON: https://atlas.ripe.net/domainmon This enables all RIPE Atlas users to specify, as a target of measurements, their own domain: second level, third level, or "ngTLD" (or "vanity domains" as I like to call them ;-) Measurements are performed from probes instead of anchors, and need to be "paid" by user's own credits. More details: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-domainmon-is-... In order to earn more credits, users can: 0) have the credits transferred to them by another generous user 1) be an LIR/member, and claim 1.000.000 credits each month 2) host one or multiple probes 3) host one or more anchors 4) sponsor an anchor 5) become a sponsor for RIPE Atlas by "adopting" the probes, or distributing their sponsored probes themselves: https://atlas.ripe.net/sponsors Regards, Vesna ps Klaus, if you think that the "ngTLDs" should be treated differently, please re-start the discussion on DNS-WG mailing list; after that, this would have to be approved by RIPE NCC membership since DNSMON is, in a way, "subsidized" by "free credits" from the RIPE Atlas system, since ccTLDs are considered important infrastructure "for the god of the Internet".
