Dear Randy / Yi Chu,

Thank you for your comments on the proposal.

Generally, members (members of APNIC in that country) in that particular economy are not having any role in deciding

    1) if they want NIR at first
    2) if they approve or agree with the proposing company / agency to be the NIR

In the current scenario, NIR is something that any agency in that Country can propose to be and as long as they get an endorsement from the Government (typically, regulator or licensor), members are not consulted and the NIR is approved since they have complied the policy. Under this ambit, any Governmental agency such as NIC or IXPs may apply for NIR that get endorsed by the Government automatically.

We have seen practical scenarios what happens when an NIR is controlled / operated and managed by the Government represented agency. I have explained some of the issues in my proposal too.

The intention here is to primarily give the option to approve or reject an NIR application to the members by way of voting "for" or "against" the proposal. I am not though disputing the current powers of EC but I wish the same should be supported by members consensus in that country.

I will be happy to clarify any portion of the proposal.

Greetings,

Kusumba S

However, prop-060 does not address section 3.1 in the proposal.
prop-060 'Details of proposal' paragraph only addresses the NIR
voting process.  It limits the voting to the members from that
ecomony that seeks new NIR.   Is my understanding right?
    

i am trying to understand this too.  please excuse my, possibly over,
simplification.

my worry is that this proposal may be vulnerable to the attack (please
excuse internet security geek terminology) that 42 people get into a
room and vote, unanimously of course, that they are an nir.

please tell me i am wrong.  if i am not, then this proposal could
benefit from some serious work before folk take it seriously.
