[Ltru] Archival of registration forms

[David Conrad]

Hi,

I'm looking into this.  The reference in 4646 is almost certainly  
wrong as that URL points to the list of the registries IANA maintains  
and does not generally contain references to forms.

I'll let folks here know as I find out more.

Rgds,
