Should have gotten a response by now.  If not, let me know.

We've been working on getting a new web site up for quite a while,  
unfortunately other fires took priority (sigh).

As you will (or already have) discover, you are entering a  
particularly unpleasant area of existing policy, namely dealing with a  
name server that is shared by many TLDs.  We're trying to fix this,
