Hi Gert, I understand your point, but actually traveling to US or even AP sometimes is even cheaper than traveling to Europe, at least from Madrid ;-) Regards, Jordi ---- Original Message ---- From: "Gert Doering" <gert@space.net> To: "JORDI PALET MARTINEZ" <jordi.palet@consulintel.es> Cc: <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] IPv6 Policy Clarification - Initial allocation criteria "d)"

I certainly don't have budget (neither time nor financial) to travel to non-european places for "policy meetings". I would *love* to go to nice places in the US, or the far east, but somebody has to pay for it...
OTOH, I like the existing system - it does the job pretty well. There are some regional differences, which isn't very surprising, as the member structure of the different regions is also very much different. But even if applied to a global resource some (minor) local differences make sense - if the underlying people and enterprises are different, the rules must adapt (most obvious example: the NIR structure in the AP region).
Also, looking at the difficulties *today* of making a sensible policy, I can't see it getting any easier if even more people of wildly varying cultural background need to agree on something.
