It is indeed an interesting proposal, though not one that’s perhaps fully informed of the intricacies of commercial 
routing economics.

Two things worthy of note for this audience, I think:

First, I don’t know that anyone is expecting networks that do not consider themselves to be principally Dutch in 
nationality to participate.

Second, this is a proposal of the Hague Security Delta, which is, in essence, a group of think-tanks.  It is not a 
proposal of the Dutch government, nor of the Dutch Internet Service Providers.  That is not intended to speak to the 
merit of the proposal, which has both good and bad points.  Just to indicate that it is neither a home-grown ISP thing, 
nor something the Dutch government is mandating or advocating.
