Let me see if I understand this correctly.

1. ETNO has no vote at all regarding RIPE policies.

2. ETNO doesn't even have a voice in making or changing
RIPE policies.

3. Telenor also has no voice in making or changing
RIPE policies.

4. RIPE policies are made by the individuals who
participate in the working groups and meetings.

5. ETNO, Telenor and any other organization can only
influence RIPE policies if individuals from those
organizations participate in RIPE working groups and
meetings.

I know this may seem like very basic stuff to old-timers
but I think this needs to be said because some people,
in particular those who participate in ETNO, do not seem
to have a correct understanding of how RIPE functions. In
order to be fair to all, RIPE has to make it clear how to
participate in the RIPE decision-making process.
