Re: [apnic-talk] [Apnic-announce] Application for India NIR - Call for C
This response is on behalf of ISOC, Delhi Chapter. I happen to be in Chair
as of now.
ISOC Delhi chapter has been very happy to learn that NIR is about to be
functional in India.
We understand that ICANN guidelines are followed by APNIC and would need to
be followed by India NIR. We have also noted that there are existing NIRs in
other countries already working successfully.
ISOC Delhi chapter has embarked on educating users of Internet, benefits and
responsibility of user as well. We also work with other ISOC chapters in
India for extending such education in other parts of India. Internet
subscribes need inputs towards understanding connectivity and flow of
information in Internet cloud. They have concerns over continuity of service
as well as privacy of information. They also have concerns about shortage of
IP addresses.
ISOC Delhi chapter welcomes and fully supports creation of NIR in India. The
Delhi Chapter would fully support NIR in its operation and formation of
guidelines and commits to monitor NIR activities and adherence to
ICANN/APNIC norms and guidelines.
Thanks for your time.
With regards and best wishes for success of NIR in India.
Brajesh C Jain
Chair, ISOC Delhi Chapter

I hope that there are requirements criteria that should be met. If the
requirement criteria are met then why should there be out of topic
discussions in the matter.
