If there is, please point it out to me and I'll crawl back under my rock. At a first glance, my feeling was : close it. But Alex is right. The real point is: how much does this service costs to RIPE versus what is its usefulness for the community ? If the answer is "It has a real cost and it's interesting for a very few organisations only", the answer should be "Close it". If the answer is "It really cost very few _OR_ it may have a great interest for a lot of organisations", the answer should be "keep it", may be under the umbrella of a specific contract (which again has a cost !). Regarding the cost, only RIPE peoples can answer... -- Francis
