I can see a use for curating historical information regarding the NCC and the RIPE community, but I’m also wary of adding headcount at the NCC to do it. Is this something, perhaps, that a team of volunteers (with suitable historical knowledge of the NCC and the community) could do as a task force? Cheers, Rob
