<DIV><BR>David Reed a computer scientist who was heavily involved in the early development of TCP/IP knowns something about MNP and thinks the project is "highly confused in its goals". However according Reed "there is no way to advise these guys". <BR><BR>"The core idea", says Reed, "seems to be that if you are incompatible with the Internet, you can be secure". Reed said the justification for MNP reminds him of the <STRONG>days when countries justified having different railroad gauges to prevent invasion.</STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>Ov'r ta the IGF they are currently herding newbies into "Ralos". How obviously meant to divide up people with commonalities into groups that cannot reach agreement. (perhaps that is the pentagons idea eh?) Think of ASEAN {{Association of SouthEast Asian Nations}} Their official language is English. You tell me if a Mekong fish farmer has more in common with a Norwegian Herring fisherman or a Thai Monk Professor at University of Thailand. Changing gauges at the border hmm seems designed to segregate folks -- make sure that the two potatoe farmers along the DMZ of the Koreas have less in common.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What is north America's Ralo -- Francais, English, Spanish? In my hood it would need Farsi and Vietnamese. But I grew up climbing trees, running rivers and climbing mountains I sure do not have anything in common with a Chicago boy named Obama.. Why must I be in the same Ralo? I have a lot more in common with a Mongolian horseman.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good point here, seems that Portuguise was also left out as well as several dialicts of Chinese. The RALO</DIV>
<DIV>concept is far from perfict or even adaquate, perhaps someday in the far flung future it shall be. In my</DIV>
<DIV>immediate area there are Internet users and registrants with cultural ties to more than 40 different</DIV>
<DIV>and distinct language and national origins. What RALO do they belong to or should belong to?</DIV>
<DIV>What RALO would those with dual citizenship belong to? Well seems to me that is difficult to </DIV>
<DIV>specifically decern, although if they reside in the USA they most likely would be default grouped</DIV>
<DIV>into the NARALO wheather or not that is their preference or is in total, appropriate for them</DIV>
<DIV>from their point or points of view. Perhaps Denise or Roberto can give us all some advise</DIV>
<DIV>in this respect? Denise? Roberto?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Eric you self determined commonality with "Mongolian Hoursman" is interesting to say the</DIV>
<DIV>least, as to my knowledge there are few if any Mongolian breed hourses in California or</DIV>
<DIV>anywhere else in the good ole US of A! >:) Personally I prefer an american breed of </DIV>
<DIV>steed for reasons of endurance, agility and speed. None the less your point is not missed</DIV>
<DIV>by me...</DIV>
