Thanks, Leonie: Two quick comments ... Léonie Watson writes: > Janina, > > This might be of interest to the RQTF working on the CAPTCHA document.

I can resolve bbc.com, but not www.bbc.com; yet an http request to bbc.com gets redirected to www.bbc.com. Seems someone's might have gotten their web server and DNS configs misaligned? 2.) Can you confirm whether the BBC news item is about the article in Science? http://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2017/10/26/science.aag2612 Jason spotted this one yesterday, and I now have a todo about checking for their policy on persistent URIs, as I expect we'll want to cite this article in any Captcha Note rewrite. Thanks again for flagging this.
