While I agree, I think some of the questions that have been raised have been 
raised as serios critisism of the process in place.

While I do think our processes always have room for improvment, I think we 
would benefit greatly from separation the discussion on

- What should the RIPE NCC be doing for its membership, and the right price 
for this

vs

- How can we improve the participation in the processes, beeing the AGM as in 
this case, and even the policy making process in other cases.

That would indeed be excellent ! :-)

The good thing now is that we are in an excellent possition do do a tourough 
discussion on theese items before the 2003 AGM and thus give both the RIPE NCC 
and the RIPE NCC Association executive board valuable input to both the 
creation of the 2004 plan and the execution of the 2003 plan.
