Re: [apnic-talk] [Apnic-announce] Application for India NIR - Call for C
I've not seen any public comments on this... Is there any opinions out there on whether the NIR for India is a good/bad idea?
Can we have some commentary from APNIC on the impact of this change will have on revenue (clearly initially none as members would have to cease being APNIC members and become INNIC members - I assume?).
But if they did all become INNIC members, what would the impact on APNIC be? Not that this is a reason to put forward a negative position, but I am just wondering.
