I do not think so. I want to see more constructive discussion.

Yes, I like it. I want only to mention that this is just what we
decided in Moscow (only ripe-167+ was not mentioned): to establish
RIPE office and continue to work on documents on RIR within working
group which is open to all interested parties. By the way, the
working group has already prepared some documents and is ready
to submit them for starting discussion.

The only thing I insist: we need to begin _practical_ work, including
the RIPE NCC office - otherwise nothing will be done. The discussion
that we participate in can last till infinity.

And you should take into consideration that the office works _de facto_
the last 1,5 years, you know about it. I have to do something with the
community that already gets service through RosNIIROS, either to stop it
immediately (quality of service is falling due to unregulated scheme,
both financial and organizational) or to move forward.
