Re: [apnic-talk] apnic-talk Digest, Vol 67, Issue 44
This response is on behalf of ISOC, Delhi Chapter. I happen to be in Chair
as of now.
ISOC Delhi chapter has been very happy to learn that NIR is about to be
functional in India.
We understand that ICANN guidelines are followed by APNIC and would need to
be followed by India NIR. We have also noted that there are existing NIRs in
other countries already working successfully.
ISOC Delhi chapter has embarked on educating users of Internet, benefits and
responsibility of user as well. We also work with other ISOC chapters in
India for extending such education in other parts of India. Internet
subscribes need inputs towards understanding connectivity and flow of
information in Internet cloud. They have concerns over continuity of service
as well as privacy of information. They also have concerns about shortage of
IP addresses.
ISOC Delhi chapter welcomes and fully supports creation of NIR in India. The
Delhi Chapter would fully support NIR in its operation and formation of
guidelines and commits to monitor NIR activities and adherence to
ICANN/APNIC norms and guidelines.
Thanks for your time.
With regards and best wishes for success of NIR in India.
Brajesh C Jain
Chair, ISOC Delhi Chapter

Ofcourse, as long as:
All one may understand here is that the members of NIXI are ISPs and
registrars. Whereas, members for NIR are Corporates, Independent
Companies (not necessarily are peering to any ISP that is member of
NIXI), Defence establishments, Financial Institutions, IT companies,
Manufacturing companies, Educational institutions etc who have nothing
to do with NIXI. So, the "need" neither addressed them nor the "cause"
explains the same since the only document that is available talks about
NIXI / ISPAI / DoT / TRAI.... Also, if NIXI has to form the NIR, I don't
see a situation where NIXI will alter its board for the cause of NIR to
include other members of NIR!
Hence, neutrality cannot be achieved since the dominance is of NIXI
members, unless a separate Section 25 is established as "by members",
"for member" and "to members".

You may have read over this ten times... but thats the point! I am sure
you know the current composition of members of APNIC from India.
