now list the services provided to operators by each.  you wanna get rid
of ris, atlas, many dns services, new engineer education, ...?

to compare you will have to fold caida's budget into arin's.  oh, and
route views's too.

this discussion sometimes reminds me of the US house of representatives
debt ceiling discussion.  let's cut everything that does not benefit my
state, or fossil fuels.

i am a ripe member because of the real services, open community, etc.
ya gets what ya pay for.  tanstaafl.
