Dear Mark,
I am sure, you will appreciate a fact that I am from India!
But when one is participating in International community, you cannot attribute any decision considering the "local" aspects and still make a decision resulting in a significant impact across the apac region. Thats my worry!
Also, community systems must always be community driven and community manned and thats the way they are expected to be, no matter what the situations are. So, unless such systems are made available, created, established, demonstrated and manned, I don't see a reason why community should allow managing community resources by such group.
BTW: I don't see any communication happening in the local languages here :-)
Greetings,
Kusumba S

Read thru complete mail and did not find still what probably community needs to understand at this moment. Please don't get us wrong! There is a disconnect in between "purpose" and "cause" here and it is important that the "purpose" is agreeable to the community to allow the "cause". All one is trying to understand here is that "purpose".
Hi Kusumba,
I think you have hit the nail on the head here.
It would be useful to know what problem(s) a NIR in India will fix as establishing one and running it will come at some cost to someone in India. If it's the language issue or time zone then perhaps APNIC can address those concerns and perhaps not. I don't think that a local NIR will fix an address availability issue to Indian ISPs although perhaps that really is a language issue that could be addressed with information in a variety of Indian languages, noting that APNIC provides telephone support in Bengali and Hindi. I guess we wont see that feedback here unless someone in India can obtain and translate those messages.
Mark.
