I don't know the relevant laws that RIPE-NCC operates under (Dutch ones, I
presume). But if you were looking at the equivalent UK arrangement (a
company limited by guarantee) then you are entitled to go to the Registered
Office and inspect the Register of Members. You then write down [*] all the
names and addresses and send them all a paper letter. I wouldn't be
surprised to find there's an equivalent rule.

[*] Many companies will help you do this more efficiently, for example by
sending a copy of the Register in the post or electronically. But I believe
the legal minimum requirement is inspection at the office.
