Glad to hear that I am really part of the Pilot! But I think, that part of
the story is the question whether a given DSA is a BIG country level DSA
or only a small organizational level DSA. In other words: how distributed
is the Distributed International X.500-Directory, and is it meaningfull to
compare DSA statistics without information about the range of organi-
zations these DSAs serve...
