There is a big danger in what you say above. Stability yes - but not at 
any price.

The stability is there for the core service of the NCC, to act as a 
RIR. The rest is benefits that we get on the side. What most people 
have been asking for is transparency and accountability on why, and to 
what costs certain projects are done. Saying that this has always been 
part of the NCCs tasks is not an answer to those questions.
