You have the wrong idea about how the RIPE NCC works. This is not a commercial company. So if the community/members asks for something that is expensive, well guess who pays for it :) There are a lot of clever engineers and analysts at the NCC in the prime of their careers. They like a technical challenge. You ask them to do something hard and they will love you :) It is not the NCC that puts the brake on ideas. They provide technical advice during discussions and do an impact analysis if a consensus is reached. But that is where the problem often occurs. Trying to get a consensus when there are many different views and strong opinions. cheers denis > > The NCC Impact Statement is actually a formal part of the policy > development process nowadays.
