@ Hello. I would just like to point out that this is contrary to APNIC
policies. There is no reason, according to APNIC, why another bunch of ISPs
cannot get together and form a separate confederation at a later time (and
pay the same $2000/confederation-member fee to APNIC).
@
@ Kindly reconsider this policy; it gives the impression that it is this
confederation's stated policy to block the formation of future APNIC
confederations.

Why does the APNIC have to be involved ?
Why don't people form more organizations similar to APNIC ?
At a Round Table, many people can sit as "peers"...there
does not have to be a strict hierarchy...
