Sorry.  Just a small clarification.

I just now realized that I have been remiss in not clarifying, up
front, that I certainly neither want nor expect RIPE NCC to release
any data that might threaten or in any way impinge upon the legitimate
national security concerns or interests of any nation, be it either
within the RIPE geographic zone, or elsewhere.  Thus, if it could be
easily established, e.g. by consulting public sources, that any one
of these seven terminated member entities was or is in fact just a
front company for, e.g. NSA, GCHQ, BND, FSB, Mossad, or any other
such entity, then I would be the last person in the world to either
ask for or even wish for RIPE NCC to disclose any information at all
in any such case or cases, and I would be the first to support any
assertion of a "National Security Exception" at any such time as RIPE
NCC elects to assert such a special exception.

I mean after all, we *are* all fully supportive of the covert activities
undertaken by these sorts of national security entities on our behalf,
aren't we?
