   @goetz When the technical requirements are written such that they require features only provided by $vendor, then any detailed assessment will conclude that $vendor is the best option and that other services cannot compete.

   Governments everywhere have long used this technique for tendering. It's how corruption can exist in the face of a "fair" tendering process.

   For SIDN to conclude that there is no hosting in the EU that can meet their requirements says that their requirements are wrong.

     In the Netherlands, there was an uproar that SIDN, the .nl domain registry, would move certain services to #AWS. As that circulated the parlieament intervened and a detailed research was done.

     From my read, no EU cloud provider, neither #OVH, nor #IONOS or #HETZNER or #STACKIT is able or can compete.

     Nevertheless, why do not all european based domain registries join forces?
