Looking over that list ..
The .int - only a very small set of organisations could register one,
so there’s absolutely no reason to keep it if it’s not being used.
The only counter reasoning I can think of is that if there's a chance it
might be useful to use it in the future, it's probably less effort to
keep it than to go through the paperwork again. INT domains are not
three-click purchases; they're handled through (currently) manual
processing at the IANA.
(Maybe there's some measurement of the performance of delegations
through the INT servers that would be easier to handle with control over
a child zone than without? Seems plausible, but a bit of a stretch.)
The hyphenated domains - is there any “risk” in dropping them? I
sincerely doubt it
As for the rest - I’ve no strong feelings either way, but holding on
to a bunch of domains “just because” is pointless
I agree.
And I wasn’t even aware that RIPE would even need to consult with
the community or members on this kind of administrative matter . .
Me neither, but I certainly feel warm and fuzzy inside now that I have
been consulted. Could be something I ate, though.
