There a re a bunch if recent Russian registrations like the one below that contain a capital A in the name, but it is not from the ASCII table. The consequence is that searches in RAS ar not successful. 1) how could this pass by the name requirements 2) anything else one can do about it? -- Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

To finalize the registration process, please click on the following address or paste it in your browser: http://authors.repec.org/confirm%21bf72a862 If you believe to have received this email by error, please ignore it. Note that registration with RePEc <http://repec.org/> will not grant you privileged access to password protected sites. The RePEc Author Service is a tool that allows authors in Economics and related fields to build a CV linking to their works in IDEAS, EconPapers and Socionet, and vice-versa. You will receive a monthly mailing about the popularity of your works on these services. We will also perform some citation analysis for you. We notice that you did not link to any works. There can be two reasons: 1) You registered only to get access to password protected online texts. Registering with the RePEc Author Service is useless for this, you need to register with the sites providing those texts, not RePEc. In such a case, there is no point in registering with RePEc. 2) You did not find any works of yours. This may be because the institutions where you publish do not yet participate in RePEc. Encourage them to do so. See <http://repec.org/>. Or is it that your name may appear with different spellings? In that case, you can confirm now, login and add alternative name spellings to your name variations before performing a new search.
