  Yeah, you fail 3 times to answer a phone call within 30 seconds on
  Sunday afternoon, and voila, you've got the tax hounds on your neck 
  :-) :-) :-)
  
  Reality check, gentlemen!
  
  From my point of view there is milage in persuing this idea, with the
  boundary condition that the goal of this whole exercise is to improve
  the mutual understanding and information flow between the LIRs and RIR's
  representatives (i mean: strategically, not for a *particular* LIR or
  particular HM (or a very small set of both)!).
  
  Paying visits to each other is maybe *one* way of achieving that goal.
  There might be others, quite as well.
  
  Let's hear the NCC's point of view on this general idea.

  Then let's try to sort out the particular goals, boundary conditions,
  and - eventually - the funding issues.
  
  How's that sound?
