[lir-wg] New question

Honest question, in order that I am able to better formulate my own views;

Can someone please answer these in a clear and non-'Yes Minister' way:

1. What is the difference between RIPE and RIPE-NCC ?

2. What is our membership fee funding (RIPE or RIPE-NCC) ?

3. What other funding does RIPE or RIPE-NCC recieve, other than membership
fees (with respect to the answer to the preceeding questions) ?

I am not trying to start yet another funding thread, I am doing research -
so private replies are welcome. Apart from JR.
