[ripe-167] Impressions brought from Moscow meeting

Hello..

the discussion is now going to become boring. Sorry to say that, but 
i see two parties, fighting for their side, but the real problem is not
a technical problem but a political one. Ripe and the community could solve
problems of type nr. (1) but not of nr. (2)


> Andrey,
> but you can agree that RIPE office in Moscow will be useful in any case.
hmm, why ? what can *only* be done in moscow and *not* in amsterdam.
If we start this, than other countries want also an office. Does this
really make sense ? It leads into a distribution of man power and knowledge.
I cant see any justification to open an office in moscow without opening one
in madrid/paris/roma/vienna etc... 
Please stop this discussion and we can continue if anybody provides the
communitiy with *good* arguments, why we should open an office in moscow.
Please no discussion about the "internet-language" english. This is a fact.
And dont come up with the timezones... we have to work sometimes with 
internic. The time-difference between us and the usa is higher than those
between amsterdam and moscow....

just my 0,02$
