Subject:       TLD Vendor Program Questions

I am preparing an evaluation of various TLD processing options for our
program, and would like to poll the RADSAFE community for their
experiences with vendor-provided TLD processing.  I would appreciate if
you could spare a few moments to answer the following questions.  Please

respond directly to my email address prduffy@foxberry.net to save
bandwidth and avoid cluttering the list (and invoking Melissa's
wrath!).  I will share a summary of my findings with all that are
interested.
