Thank you for your comments, Ronald!

To be clear, there's quite a bit of the Discussion Phase left to run and there will hopefully be plenty more discussion during that phase! 

As you're all aware, RIPE Policies are both important and far reaching. We, as a community, should never rush to judgement, either way and there have been many occasions when comments introduced late in policy discussion have had important effects on the final policies and decisions.
