In no way. What about yours?
Anyway, my apologizes to all this list's readers.

Not sure _any_ majority is writing to this list. As well sorting just loud voices has very little in common with normal votes counting, doesn't it?
Sure it is. However, it still reflects the general attitude. Moreover, it reflects the attitude of people who _do_ care, who are interested and who can predict the possible impact on the whole Internet community. A resposible guy of a newly emerged LIR is very unlikely to make his own jugement right away just following the discussion. On the contrary the particpants of this mailing list are from all major players in this field. You might have asked, and you once had, why we are still going with this discussion, after we had been given a reasuarance that nobody would be compelled to be serviced by a new RIR. I'm arfaid that, in order to justify the establishment of the new RIR, you will be effectively _forced_ to continue your efforts in seeking agressevely for other countries from the former USSR to be included in the service area, otherwise, you think, you are not going to receive a huge block of IP address space. Suppose you are succeseful in establishing the RIR for the former USSR area, then I am sure that no assurances on the free choice once had been given would matter any longer.
