Thanks for the wise words. Paying a few thousand EURs per year to
have a very professional organisation lobbying for our interests
worldwide. Maybe many fine lunches, dinners, but even more very
professional work! Yes, RIPE is worth every cent.

Please re-consider the "cost-cutting-efforts" going on:

If there had been no RIPE with crystal-clear policies as a very
good example of self-gouvernance, many national government regulations
would be in place instead -- and it would be a big mess.
