Fallacious. The fact that some expert provides a finding does not
change that it is the NCC that is tasked with "doing something
about it".

FWIW, I would prefer this entire discussion to take place in
ncc-services. The entire effect of this proposal pivots on using
the NCC SSA to achieve some goal and I consider having part of
this debate in aawg and another part in ncc-services a not very
subtle divide-and-conquer approach.

>I'm not sure if he membership will really will not accept a change as the "1st waiver, not 2nd one" that I introduced above. Why membership will support even if is a 10% (just to put an exaggerated figure here) of membership acting against all the community, which means extra cost for all (including the members but not only)?

I would hope that the Membership would be able to see that a
change in nature of the NCC frm (restorative) registry to
(retributive) enforcment agency would be fundamental and very 
dangerous and would *inevitably* fall back on themselves. But 
that is for the membership to decide.
