All,

A clarification:

The policies implemented by the RIPE NCC are set by the Internet community (i.e the RIPE community).
The RIPE community is open to everyone who is interested in the workings of the Internet. The RIPE community has no formal membership and its activities are performed on a voluntary basis, except the activities performed by the RIPE NCC (http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/).
You do not have to be a member of the RIPE NCC to suggest a change of policy or to raise an issue you think needs to be discussed.

There are no complicated processes or steps involved to change policy. All you need to do is to post a mail to the relevant mailing list (for policy matters it is lir-wg@localhost) or to bring it up one of the working groups in a RIPE meeting. If, after some discussion in relevant working group, consensus is reached, then the RIPE NCC will implement this policy.

Kind regards,

Nurani Nimpuno
RIPE NCC

Member involvement in RIPE is the same as with most 'standards' bodies. A
very small %age of the membership understand the weird (acadaemia
originated) processes and the beaurocrary required to be involved. Most
members just want a service...
