Call for Comments
Hi Skeeve,
Thanks for your feedback!
The objective of the APNIC EC's Call for Comment is not to begin a
collective financial analysis of the proposal. Rather, the EC wants to
find out whether the APNIC community is comfortable with the formation
of an NIR for India, or whether they are aware of risks or further
considerations the EC should investigate as part of its evaluation
process.
If there are concerns related to the financial impact that such an NIR
may have on the fees of direct APNIC members, these concerns of course
should be noted. Equally, if members think such national entities
should
be recognized where there is clear local community support, this should
also be expressed.
The intent of the Call for Comment was to allow members and
stakeholders
a chance to express their concerns and thoughts on the matter and the
EC
would certainly appreciate any comments you may care to make.
Cheers,
Sanjaya

Umm... It's a good thing?
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.

Subject: [Apnic-announce] Application for India NIR - Call for
Comments
_______________________________________________________________________
Application for India NIR - Call for Comments
_______________________________________________________________________
The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) has lodged an
application
for recognition as a National Internet Registry (NIR). If recognized
as
an NIR, NIXI would be able to offer IP (Internet Protocol) address
allocation and other APNIC services at a national level in India.
In the interests of openness and transparency, the APNIC Executive
Council (EC) requests public review of the NIXI application and has
issued a Call for Comments to gauge community support.
The EC will accept public or confidential comments until Monday, 30
November 2009 at 17:30 (UTC+10 - Brisbane time).
Confidential comments may be:
- Emailed to the Executive Secretary of the EC at exec-
sec at apnic dot net
- Submitted using the web form at http://www.apnic.net/NIR_Comments
Comments may also be made publicly and discussed on the "apnic-talk"
mailing list. More information on the list is available at:
http://www.apnic.net/mailing-lists
The APNIC EC is responsible for evaluating and approving the
application, but before the EC can do so, it must be satisfied that
NIXI
meets the "Criteria for the recognition of NIRs in the APNIC
region",
as
set out in the policy available at:
http://www.apnic.net/policy/nir-criteria
These criteria require NIXI to:
- Demonstrate formal endorsement at the national level by the
appropriate government body
- Be an independent legal entity with a non-profit structure
- Demonstrate a stable funding model
- Demonstrate it holds a neutral position
- Have the organizational and technical capacity to implement
APNIC address management policies
