Huh. Right. If it was a web form or two then maybe the process would
actually work in a timely fashion. I get this feeling that over the
(changing) years much of the paper work has been created to keep the NCC in
the 'power' to which they have become accustomed. While I am sadly aware of
how complex the current processes are and of many of the original reasons
for this complexity, let's not forget the whole point of the NCC - to manage
resources for it's 'owners'.

See a recent thread on concerns why the NCC and RIPE are not the same
thing - to many views (we, the members paying for it) they should be the
same.
