Re: [urn] GVAT registration request

["Miksa, Tomasz" <[e-mail]>]

Dear Dale, Martin, all,

Thank you very much for the quick feedback. 

We have focused to get everything else right and simply overlooked the proper definition of the registrant that seemed the easiest thing to do :) We need to discuss this internally again and then we will post an improved version.

When it comes to the NSS, we are aware of the limitations that you have mentioned. Since you bring them up, I will double check with my project partners to be on a safe side.

Best wishes,

Tomasz Miksa

Hello Dale, others,

I'm not at all familiar with Austrian bureaucracy, but I'm not sure that a department with such a specific and catchy name as "Applikation Smart Data & Softwareservices" will stay the same much longer than it takes for an employee to retire. (This could be different for more 'standard' 
departments with more established names.)

Regards,   Martin.
