I'd like to be very clear that the CleanIT project is not part of RIPE. 
Due to the work they are doing and the area in which they are operating 
we thought (and continue to think) that they have some interesting 
things to say and that it is a good thing that they are bringing their 
ideas to the community. By inviting the project to speak at the meeting, 
neither the AA-WG nor the community (and especially not the NCC) 
explicitly or implicitly endorses the full project. We have said that we 
feel this is an area that requires more investigation and work, but that 
doesn't mean that we agree with everything they say. Needless to say, 
this goes not just for the CleanIT project but anyone who comes to talk 
to the community.

Indeed, if you look at the projects page on partners and participants 
(http://www.cleanitproject.eu/partners-and-participants/) it explicitly 
states "These persons or organisations attended Clean IT events and/or 
exchanged views to contribute to the project. This does not implicate 
any commitment to temporary or future results from the individuals or 
their organization."

I hope this clears things up to some extent.
