This is not even remotely comparable. If they are expelled from a
craft beer association it simply means they are not members of
the association anymore. It does *not* mean they cannot get
barley, hops or water anymore (except, theoretically, on another
continent)
Being expelled from the RIPE NCC means, in practical terms, that
one cannot conduct one's business in the RIPE Service Region
anymore. Why do you think a member would just lie down and take
that rather than using any means available to ensure its
survival?
