I reviewed the draft agenda: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/address-policy-wg/2008/msg00671.html but I have as yet to see any protocol from the address-policy-wg or from the AGM. I did find this: http://www.ripe.net/news/gm-october-2008.html Interesting that 52 attendees out of 6000 RIPE members are able to make such a change. >Every RIPE member receives the invitations to the AGM, and the invitation >contained the draft of the to-be-installed charging scheme.

I am looking into why neither il.isoc and il.iucc did not receive the announcement. >The majority of the LIRs that attended the meeting (or sent proxy votes) >voted for the acceptance of the new charging scheme. I wouldn't call 52 out of 6000 LIRs a substantial majority. -Hank
