How many of the 6 million hosts do you let the community see?  For than
matter how many of the 170,000 Australia hosts can they see?

When will the see more?

How will you decide what they can see if the policy is to block everything
unless specifically allowed rather than allow everything unlass
specifically blocked?

We for instance would have an interest in the public seeing anything from
anu in particular cis.anu.edu.au, info.anu.edu.au, www.anu.edu.au,
pastime.anu.edu.au (has hansard)
