James, the NCC Board does not make policy. For address management policy-making, it's this WG which does that. [The name of the WG is a big hint... :-)] I hoped everyone knew that. The Board's job is to oversee the NCC on behalf of its members but not get involved in operational matters. Besides, by the time a policy proposal gets in front of the Board (impact assessment, etc), the PDP is in the end-game and the proposal is pretty much the settled will of the RIPE community.<br>

In this case, the Board seems to be saying it doesn't think the proposed solution is ideal but will go along with what the RIPE community decides. </blockquote><div><br>What else the Board could do? <br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
I'm sure that if the Board felt that decision was not in the best interests of the NCC, they wouldn't keep quiet about the matter.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>??? <br><br><br>Best,<br><br>Géza <br></div></div><br>
