Hi all,
so, in order to try to start chop away from all the pending items from
the meeting:
there was a request (from SM, iirc) about the exact definitions what the
different 'org-type:' attribute values are and what the definitions are,
when to use which.
Iirc, Madhvi responded that these can be obtained through whois queries.
I just tried and reached as far as getting an (apparently authoritative)
list of possible values. (below)
I didn't find any definitions as to which value is to be used for which
ORG. Can staff (maybe Madhvi) point us in the right direction?
Also: if it involves the manual (which was noted to have outdated info),
please confirm how current the referenced info/definitions are.
Thanks,
Frank
