Multihoming - Resilience or Independence

All,

A clarification:

The policies implemented by the RIPE NCC are set by the Internet community 
(i.e the RIPE community).
The RIPE community is open to everyone who is interested in the workings of 
the Internet. The RIPE community has no formal membership and its 
activities are performed on a voluntary basis, except the activities 
performed by the RIPE NCC (http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/).
You do not have to be a member of the RIPE NCC to suggest a change of 
policy or to raise an issue you think needs to be discussed.

There are no complicated processes or steps involved to change policy. All 
you need to do is to post a mail to the relevant mailing list (for policy 
matters it is <lir-wg at ripe.net>) or to bring it up one of the working 
groups in a RIPE meeting. If, after some discussion in relevant working 
group, consensus is reached, then the RIPE NCC will implement this policy.

Kind regards,

Nurani Nimpuno
RIPE NCC
