Joe,
Yes, you have answered my concern.
What I understand from your answer is that CORE did not explicitely tell you
that they have any interest in the bind99 database.
In other words, you don't have any endorsement from CORE to your project,
and no authorization from their part to use their name in your list ;>).
(and probably not either from DNSO, ICANN, IANA Root Servers, ....)
This reminds me of another story of several months ago, the survey of Mr.
John Hunt, who claimed to do some work in name of IFWP and IANA (which was
not true, of course). Any connection between the two initiatives?
Thanks,
Roberto
