Dave, My opinions on your questions are:
1. Why would they? A country should WANT to do this and go to effort to make it happen. It is a serious thing to do, not done for the fun of it. 2. No idea. 3. I believe APNIC assists applicants who are serious about the process. There is a LOT involved and takes time. 4. Ask the NIR 5. I would assume yes.... but I would expect that country to have been an active member of APNIC, attended meetings, have known people involved, participated in discussion and be knows to the regional community. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd [email protected] ; www.eintellegonetworks.com Phone: 1300 239 038; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve experts360: https://expert360.com/profile/d54a9 twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 12:39 AM, Dave Mead <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks once again, Skeeve.
