ILAN pays RIPE and I do think that RIPE listens.  If you compare
RIPE to Internic, I think they are way ahead in the way of
user representation.  Your comments are more appropriate for
Internic, IMHO.  I have followed RIPE's development for the past 5
years and I will honestly say that I am glad that RIPE is what it is
and that we are not in the sphere of Internic.
