Several NCC folks have told me that one of the things that you learn in
the "welcome as an NCC employee" introduction is that the RIPE NCC is
indeed an organisation based on trust in its membership and the
community it serves. Which is a Good Thing; if it did not I do not quite
see how it could justify its very existence.

That said, I believe that if you truly do prefer to be a member of an
RIR that doesn't trust you, more suitable alternatives than the NCC exist.
