Really off-topic now :o(

Its not citizens telling DENIC what to do.
It was a German court, and surely DENIC
has to do something then ...

If Nederland court is telling RIPE NCC to stop forming their internal 
regulations after the comments from non-members, RIPE NCC will also have 
to do something too.

Great idea btw :o)


Anyway: took this from RIPEs homepage
"The RIPE NCC is an independent, not-for-profit membership organisation"

So again (I want an answer now): why should RIPE NCC has to form it 
internal procedures and regulations after the will of the world ?

And from ripe-514
"10.2 The Executive Board may, at its own discretion, consult the 
Members about any decisions it plans to take."

And I do not find any note, that RIPE-NCC has to listen to 
whatever-what-people-say arround the world, its only about members ...

So it would be the most-easy way to ask its members several 
abuse-related things at the next general metting (oh, Im so naive).

So why should I not attend the next GM and ask:
"do we want to have the abuse-mailbox-field to change to be mandatory ?" 
and we just have a vote there at the GM and finish all the discussion of 
the last year ?
