We appreciate that ETNO thinks about RIPE policy and discusses it, but 
please do the public discussion on this mailing list instead of making a 
statement. This is required to keep the policy development process open 
and transparent.

I agree. We should all focus on the content of the concerns. That does 
mean that they will have to be discussed here, and that those who 
represent ETNO take part in that discussion, explain why they have those 
concerns and be willing to accept another outcome than put in the ETNO 
statement when good counter arguments are given.

Thank you. We appreciate feedback to policy proposals. If you want the 
ETNO opinion to be used in the RIPE policy development process just make 
sure that there will be ETNO members / representatives that will discuss 
that opinion openly on this list.

Thank you,
