[members-discuss] IETF funding

As Peter and Gert wrote:

It seems unclear why We (ripe) should support ietf with a one shot payment.

Anyway I also would like to understand why IETF (today a big stone) don't
ask its members/vendors for support. I could agree to use RIPE founds to
support any organization that could not be able to have enough founds for
specific reasons, but honestly, even if I know the IETF importance, I don't
see any actions it tkake or took to support us (lir and ripe).

Use a so big admount of founds seems not clear.

My opinion is to refuse the ietf request or to give a scheduled and well
documented annual support to be used for specific activity in benefith for
both.

I appreciate any clarifications
