To join this with another thread, I think it'd be a Good Thing[TM]
if the InterNIC were to start up an outage list...it sure would
be popular. My only request (should any 'NIC people be reading
this and taking me seriously, not that I think I deserve to be
taken seriously too often) is that it be free of advertisements
(even for NSI) or new payment schemes or /anything/ that isn't an
outage that affects the provider community.

But, better than most of us have grown accustomed to expect. I
really don't think anybody here is trying to say that the InterNIC
is now perfect, only that they've improved.
