I would agree with Aftab here. a NOG structure is more appropriate if training is the key issue. Running an NIR takes resources and time... and the question would have to be asked... 'why'. There should be a VERY demonstrated reason for any country wanting to be an NIR, including the ability to run and fund it... and they should have to prove this to APNIC and the community. A NOG is much easier to get running and required little effort.
