Perhaps Randy can provide a brief background on the "why" of the existence of the advisory council in the ARIN region. Perhaps it solves a (legal?) problem that may be different here.

as it does in apnic, lacnic, ...  at least in my culture, policy is
the only thing a board really is supposed to do.  anything else is
micro-management.  they're the ones who face the court or whatever.

Interesting point - I think in the past we have tried to archive
separation between setting the policies in RIPE and executing the policies
by the RIPE NCC.

Other opinions ?

I don't know that for people other than the regular participants this separation has been clear. However, I still think it has value as it formally allows for input of people other than just the members themselves (for instance the end-users can have a say on the policy under the current RIPE scheme), therefore allowing for a broader representation of the Internet community.
