Mr. McQueen,

Speaking for the IAB, may I encourage everyone who is in
a position to create an X.500 database to press ahead
seriously with plans to populate and maintain it. We
have an unquestioned need for email white pages capability.
Whether one uses QUIPU or another X.500 implementation 
is less relevant that getting X.500 facilities into place
in the Internet.

Centralized databases, except perhaps those maintained by
public email carriers, have a tendency to get out of date
despite the best efforts of the maintainers. By distributing
the system and bringing it closer to each user's email
host, we hope to improve the quality and longevity of these
databases.
