Hi,
I think there is some misunderstanding, may be due to the fact that some details are not clearly defined in the ripe-167 document.
The idea is _to start_ the process on the base of RosNIIROS, as far as it has done something already with this problem.
If we agree with the idea of RIR, then the work is to be done within some "collaborative entity" and the model of RIPE is acceptable. If we need, some international association can be formally established. I've already discussed it with some of Russian ISPs, and they also think so.
Of course, it's not acceptable that Russian Government will dictate something through RosNIIROS. The latter can play only _technical_ role (if it'll be decided that it is RosNIIROS that should do this work after initial period).
I didn't quite understand, Ucrainian ISPs don't like the idea Please, as the first step, write "Ukraine" rigthly:-( of RIR at all, or they don't like it to be based on some Yes, don't like absolute. organization (say, with international status) located in Moscow ?
What about Minsk, then ? :-) You can located in Kamchatka, this is your problem:-)
