Re: A philosophical question about large directory structures

Ella,

Well, the NADF did not step up to the task although they did a good job of
defining the problem.  We should look at building upon some of their work
which I suspect is not widely known in this group.

You also make a point here: registration is done for c=us, not for the
whole .com domain.  This makes it manageable.

Cheers,                   ....Erik.
