It is often suggested that sites on bitnet register domain-style names under a .BITNET domain, but the reply is always that the NIC will not accept such a top level domain. Perhaps it would be appropriate to register all BITNET sites under the BITNET parent organization? Thus, we might have DNS addresses such as "site.cren.org" and a CREN.ORG domain administered by the CSnet organization. Or perhaps a CREN.NET or even CS.NET? Alternatively, the CSnet folks could do with BITNET what they did with CSnet years ago and manage a bunch of 2nd-level domains, one for each BITNET site.
