Can you please explain and give exact numbers, which (%) of the RIPE 
work right now is done manualy by hand, and depending of the member 
numbers ? Because I dont see such, nor I can see such in the future, 
everything is/can_be automatized.

In 2005 huge part (mail sending system) of the RIPE work was done by 
hand, now you go on the web (if you can login because the stupid pointles 
2fa) and click, all behind is automated. The problems come from local 
government/financial/sanctions/laws/inflation that need hand (employee) 
work, usless not working project, and that do not depend strongly on 
member numbers. But the flat fee strongly depends on how many LIR member 
we are.
