Hi, >> RIPE policies are proposed and voted by the membership, it can not >> get any more democratic than that ! > > Yes, but generally it would seem that they're discussed at the GM > and not in open forums such as this .... tbh other than a comment > asking for a sample contract a few months ago (which I've still not > seen, so haven't looked into this further until this thread started) > I've not seen any discussion on this proposal I do not want to drag individuals into the discussion, but Nigel Titley (Board Chairman) is going the extra mile to make sure that RIPE policies are well communicated and members involved. For the last few LINX and UKNOF meetings, he has been presenting all the policies under discussion at RIPE, I will bore the list with all the links. http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof12/Titley-RIPE_policies.pdf http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof13/Titley-RIPE_policy.pdf Linx members can access the archives for Linx 63 and Linx 65 where slides, audio and video are accessible. > In the end we worked around it, but I'm also concerned about > discussions I've heard about having weighted voting based on the > number of domains you have registered through Nominet ... being a > member should entitle you to 1 vote per membership .. not 1 vote per > domain you register .. then anyone can "buy" the policy making > process if they have enough money Nominet does not currently have a "1 member 1 vote" system, it never had, the voting was always weighted - which is making changes hard as some big members have currently near veto power .. But as you said this is off-topic. Thomas
