[dns-operations] Broken NS records for TLD zones in root zone.

[Anand Buddhdev]

Hi Mark,

Some of the ccTLDs in your report have RIPE NCC name servers, but we are
unable to XFR the zones from the operators. We have tried to contact the
operators by email and phone, using all the email addresses and numbers
we could find, but we've not had any success. In some cases the
situation has been this way for months or years.

Regards,
Anand Buddhdev
