[members-discuss] Feedback Requested: RIPE NCC Broker List

The problem I see most frequently with the list of brokers is that people unfamiliar with the community and transfer process take this as a list of approved, trustworthy IPv4 facilitators.  This is not always the case, nor is it possible for RIPE to endorse and rate each broker. I know there is a disclaimer on the list  but people don't read these warnings, the mere existence on the website acts as an endorsement.  Therefore, I would like to see either the list removed or add a way for people to leave reviews.

    Hi,
    
    I would be flexible about the 5 business days deadline, but what Hank 
    described seems a good approach to me.
