Sorry, thats confusing.

RIR stand for "regional" not world-wide.
The community should also be a regional community.

RIPE NCC defines itself as:
The RIPE NCC is an independent, not-for-profit membership organisation 
that supports the infrastructure of the Internet through technical 
coordination in its service region.

"Service region" !

At least RIPE is worldwide in the way, that its resources are globaly
routed and misused worldwide ...


I dont think that RIPE and RIPE NCC should not listen
to users and organisations world-wide, but descissions
should only be made be users from the RIPE region.

Thats the same with the spamhause discussion we had.
RIPE NCC has to check everything to its own regulations,
but they could listen to important sources like spamhaus.

And we are here to discuss definitions and regulations
for the RIPE region, to discuss drafts and give
advice to boards and descission makers in the RIPE region.
We do not have to discuss them with people that hide
behind anonymous services offered world wide.
We could listen to them, but progress should only
be defined by members.
