as i am not a european or a ripe member, i generally try not to make non-tecnical comments on ncc policy. but, in this case, i am employed by a current user of this service. >> It seems to me that the deadlines have been removed for now and the >> playing ground has been set up so that we can engage in proper >> discussion. > The demand for RIPE NCC membership (with waived fees for at least 9 > months) still stands. I think it inappropriate for this demand to > remain until the issue is resolved with the ripe community / ripe ncc > membership. imiho, there are at least two issues. first is the one you address, that the game was changed after the members' approval, that is a violation of trust, and should be completely revoked, not just pushed ahead with a cost suspension. the second is the contractual issue. i understand the ncc feeling it needs a contractual relationship with bulk data users. this is needed to ensure respect for the data. the confusion here is that this need not be the membership contract. in fact, i wonder if (i confess to not checking) the membership agreement protects the bulk data. randy
