Except that members (RIPE NCC members), unless they voice their concerns here, on this list, don't have a word to say on policy development. As for myself, I still strongly oppose for too many reasons (it would take half of a working day to write all them down again). As a very quick and incomplete reminder: - "two levels membership" / differentiated services - "RIPE NCC as an investment fund" (or "former Gold distributor") - uncertainty for feasibility of business processes (what exactly is M&A today ? , what will it be tomorrow ?) - stubbornness on arguments/issues that still do not yet apply everywhere or that still have enough space for a middlegroud - .... - <a href="https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-August/011700.html" target="_blank">https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-August/011700.html</a> - <a href="https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-June/011565.html" target="_blank">https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-June/011565.html</a> - <a href="https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-June/011548.html" target="_blank">https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-June/011548.html</a> No, I don't think any of my concerns has been addressed. And last but not least, differentiated treatment of the proposals (ideas in general), depending on who is the proposer and how does it fit within the ideas of the "establishment". </blockquote></div>
