[ripe-list] LIR and Member Agreements

Hi Christian,

> First of all thanks a lot to Denis for all his work, I imagine it must have taken hours.
> We, the board and the NCC will follow up on it and will not just have a look at the content itself but also look into how did we end up in this situation in the first place.
> We will come back to the mailing list after the legal evaluation is conducted and also report on this at the next RIPE Meeting.

Thank you, this is what I would like to see.

> Regarding the CoC aspect of this emails, we the board did not read Hans Petters comments as shutting down the conversation or policing anyone and we would not have allowed that.

Well, then you the board should read it again... Invoking the Code of Conduct when criticising the RIPE NCC is seen exactly as silencing. It also diminishes the value of the Code of Conduct and sets a horrendous precedent. This abuse of the CoC is EXACTLY what makes people afraid of adopting a CoC in the first place. This abuse of the CoC bij a managing director and then explicitly condoning that by the board damages all the hard work done by the community.

The board should be ashamed of itself regarding this part of its response.
