[members-discuss] RIPEdb registry need to be ready for separating?

Dear Daniel,
Have you read what I wrote?
Have you understood what was written on the plan-scheme?
I let myself to translate records on bottom - "Российские локальные
регистратуры должны будут отключиться от международного реестра и
переключиться на российский"
Russian local registries (LIRs) will have to disconnect from the
international registry and switch to the Russian.
Are you understand what is this mean for RIPE/EU community? Securing
part of their own internet? Ok. But does this mean that Deutsche LIRs,
for example, don't send their data to the RIPEdb for the same reason?

I am not an omniscient super-genius - nobody is (duh!) - thus a calm debate weighing all the options considering all available data is the best way to evaluate what is the best solution. Wouldn't you agree?

I.e. the Polish regulation (supposedly only to be used to block only gambling sites but is implemented as an administrative decision without any judiciary oversight) is frighteningly similar to what Russia is planning to do with their DNS "mirrors". Not a big problem over here as it is easy for any end user to circumvent... until the government blocks all "foreign" DNS systems (i.e. forces all ISPs to block access to any foreign DNS).

So do we blame them for doing what we do, or we are just envious they do it better and more effective than us? </DevilsAdvocate>
