That is OK, as long as it provides a solution. However, what you say above
does not imply necessarily the use of "wildcards", right? It is a different
thing to use wildcards in the DNS protocol and completely different to ask
for a group of FQDNs to be the "same".

Andrew, you have been crystal-clear in many occasions that we shouldn't
expect a solution just for .gr domain names and we are not expecting
something like that. However, if we do not bring our experience along with
others in this discussion then we discuss solutions that are not applicable
to the real problem. 

You do not need to be sorry; you are the chair of the group and somedays
somebody loses; the chair will have the task to announce it. However, up to
that specific point of time please be impartial because I have the feeling
you would prefer this discussion to end as soon as possible and that is not
just.

Kind Regards,
