[ripe-167] Impressions brought from Moscow meeting

Hello...

first of all, i want to mention, that we are not involved in any 
internet business in russia. We dont know how assigns domains, who
is responsible for what etc..

But all statements on this list seem to me like a political problem, but
because all know that this isnt a good reason to split RIPE, some are
trying to find other arguments...
We (de.seicom) dont consider language problems or time-zones justify
to establish a new RIPE

If we start this, some other countries will apply for a (X)RIPE with the
same reason...
BTW: Germany is raising and it would be much more easier to talk with
a LIR in Germany in german language.. Frankfurt would be real central
for germany, we have  a good mc Donalds in the train station...
I hope this are good reasons for establishing GRIPE in Germany 
(german Ripe). 
*sigh* ok nice joke... 

But please find real and good reasons why a new RIPE should be established
in Moscow or somewhere else... I am boring to see all this boring mailings
on this list. And if the russian LIR are not able to communicate in
english language with the RIPE NCC in Amsterdam, and there are so much
LIR from Russia, a hostmaster with the ability to speak russian should
work in Amsterdam..:-) But i expect, that a fundamental knowledge of
the english language is essential for internet business, whether you are
from germany, france, spain, russia or from any other country...
