That is my current thinking about how we will go about
keeping a list of European Internet service providers.

This is one of the problems to get it started. But not a serious one
as we can just accept ASCII text or HTML and store it at the NCC
during the startup phase.

1. The NCC currently has no manpower to do anything like that. We are
awfully short as it is.

2. I would like to avoid that and use your first idea exclusively as 
the service providers will be responsible for their presentations 
themselves.

3. If RIPE would come up with a suggested structure for the presentations
or a list of the topics that should/can be covered it would be very
useful.
