[ Moderator note: changed ripe-list at ripe.net -> lir-wg at ripe.net ]


Dear Colleagues,
as chair of the RIPE local-ir working group I would realy urge you all
to read the proposal and voice your active support. I have not been directly
involved in creating theese documnets, just been following the disussions
at RIPE meeting and now even at the Open ASO meeting tuesday at IETF here in
Oslo.

The documents to study are pointed to from 
http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/icann.html
and the specific proposal is in

http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/icann.cover.letter.html
http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/icann.mou.html

The discussions on the ASO list may be viewed at
http://www.ripe.net/mail-archives/aso-discuss/index.html
for those who are not at the list. 

In my personal belif this current proposal reflecs the opinions that have
been started from the RIPE community. 

Idealy we should have had a RIPE meeting to discuss this proposal in
detail, but we do not have time for that. However the principles of 
this proposal were indeed discussed in detail on the last RIPE meeting.

Please read the proposal and voice your active support as indicated by
the original message from Daniel.

Sincerely,
Hans Petter Holen
Local IR WG Chair
