I would also like to see some visibility into the registries
Take this up with ICANN -- not an IETF problem.
True. The solution lies with ICANN.
But still; Florian asked an interesting and valid question. The IETF
community should perhaps care about this issue or at least be made aware
of it. It that sense I appreciated the e-mail.
Out of curiosity, what would you be prepared to pay for
such services, which would involve both development and ongoing
costs, however small? Or are you somehow entitled to free
lunches?
You're not serious are you?
Please allow me to clutter up the list with an opinion on this:
Free lunches happen to be ICANN's specialty; go ask the folk currently
in Hyderabad. In my mind there must be some room in ICANN's / IANA's
budget to pay for this relatively simple task as well. Frankly I would
say it is a very logical part of their responsibility. After all, they
already publish the protocol registries online. It should be rather
simple to send out a signal with every change or make an even better
system like John suggested.
But you are right, this list is not the right place for that discussion.
