  A couple of observations...
  
  Hank, I guess you do have a particular suggestion?  If yes, please put
  it forward for discussion. Or do you really intend to start a discussion
  about feelings :-?

  Some of the stuff in the excerpt as attached below might benefit from
  a more precise definition:
  
  - when we talk about registry business, we're talking Local-IRs and the
    RIPE _NCC_.

  - "RIPE" is the term used for referring to the loosely defined european
    region's "internet constituency". RIPE does not in itself or directly
    deal with registry transactions, but it does have influence on the 
    definition of address distribution _policiy_.
    
  - what is the meaning of "PIR"?
