If Russia want to establish new RIR, which (according to authors of the document) could solve specific problems, let them do it! If any country want to join Russian RIR, we have no right to contradict - it's their choise. The only problem, that there are no "domestic" LIRs registered in some CIS countries at all (GE, MD, TM, Tadjikistan), or it's only 1-2 registered (AM, AZ,KG,KZ, UZ) - who will decide on behalf of them)?
I agree with your first statement but did not understand the second. What you mean by "who will decide on behalf of them"? We do decide for us. Thanks God there is no USSR anymore. And CIS is an illusion. So if some people in some countries would like to establish RIR in Moscow: Let it be so. AM NIC is not interested.
On the other hand, nobody could compel 18 Ukrainian LIRs (as well as Georgian, Moldavian, Chinese etc.) to be served by RosNIIROS instead of RIPE NCC.
Exactemont.
With best regards from "radical and nationalist" :)
Well, I don't think it's an issue of nationalism in the common sense of this word: we do not need Moscow's guidance or protection. Rule RIPE NCC in Amsterdam (good city :) Edgar der Danielyan
