The RIPE community has, of course, no monetary resources of its own to call on. Where such resources are required, the RIPE NCC has traditionally provided them. I think what you are asking is that either the RIPE NCC pays for legal advice to be given to the RIPE community or that some lawyer be found to give pro bono advice. Ultimately the Board decides on whether RIPE NCC resources should be allocated to the community, of course, although mostly it just passes them through on the nod and this could be no exception. However, I do share Shane's pessimism about the likely outcome of involving lawyers. > Perhaps if we ask for such advice on the list, then the meeting > organizers might take the time to find a legal expert who can > make a presentation at a future RIPE meeting.
