I'm working for Turkish Academic Network, and wonder what is the main idea for "THE DEMAND for THREE PEERS IN THE DEFAULT-FREE ZONE" ?
=> sub-TLAs are for ISPs, not for NRENs. The solution for a NREN is either to disguise itself as an ISP, or to join the 6bone.
Well - many NRENs do ISP-like work for their members (universities, student hostels, etc.), so you don't have to "disguise" yourself. If you assign /48s to third parties, you fulfill the criteria - you don't have to "be an ISP" for that. [..]
I also aggre with Peter and suggest attendees of RIPE-42 meeting to discuss about this requirement/demand. => there was no raised problem because RIPE attendees are mainly from ISPs.
I saw a fair number of NREN people at RIPE42, and they did not raise any major concerns...
