I'm not sure on how "Registries of Deeds/Land" work in different countries, but usually those Registries are not an Association which has (all?) its "customers" as members/shareholders. So, while i think i understand why some people choose to use this analogy, RIPE NCC, as a registry has that different characteristic, apart from having also a distribution function/role (which land registries don't have). And while a member can feel it shouldn't be part of the same org/company/association than (bad?) actors, it doesn't feel right that it is that said member that should quit his/her membership. Also, i have read allegations about a "monopoly" regarding the service region. Afaik, there is a transfer market which contradicts the concept of said "monopoly" (i.e. can't get more addresses from the RIR, then go to the market). > Best regards, > > Niall O'Reilly Great to hear from you Niall!
