This is why we circulate the activity plan well in advance of setting 
the budget and the charging scheme. We typically get no response to the 
activity plan at all.

I do take on board Kurtis' comments about making the activity plan more 
transparent with regards to costs of individual activities and we will 
ask the RIPE NCC to make this clearer.

RIPE NCC board/RIPE WG activities take up roughly 2 days per *week* of 
my time. I'm lucky to have an employer that is happy with this. However, 
as I made clear, this discussion blew up at the time of the month when I 
happen to have to spend a couple of days full time on the day job. 
Apologies for this.
