While it's probably a good idea to continue the RIPE NCC tradition of
employing staff from different regions and with diverse linguistic
background, I do *not* agree that "splitting" the RIPE NCC along the
lines of language(s) is useful.
Btw, this statement is not to be seen as specifically aiming at the
Russian language! The very same point holds true for say German or
French or Spanish.
What we want to preserve across the whole Internet and in particular
amongst the registries, is exchange of information, sharing of knowledge
and harmonisation of procedures. In the Internet of today, we happen to
use the English language for that purpose.
(...discussing the reasons for that is probably
outside the scope of this discussion :-).
