[members-discuss] Questions to RIPE NCC in light of last GM

Hello.

After viewing video from last GM Im have some questions, hope you can 
help me with it.

1) Was been noticed about RIPE currently hold 46 racks, are possible to 
know information about that racks? What are servers used? How much power 
its consume and etc...

2) Are RIPE NCC currently use some sort of "cloud services" - for 
example Amazon S3 (or similar) and related. If YES - where is possible 
to found report about how much its used and how much its cost?

3) Are RIPE NCC was been used or evaluate of possibility to start using 
IBM Z mainframe for mission critical services - like a RIPE Database and 
etc... what are must have max uptime and max security? If RIPE NCC (not 
matter CTO all whole RIPE NCC) are evaluate it early - then can are you 
share your conclusion about it, if not evaluate it early - may I ask 
about RIPE NCC to make internal evaluation of this and after show 
conclustion?

4) @hpholen said about RIPE NCC have some "private" NDA contract, but I 
didnt see any documentation about some sort of "tenders". Are maybe for 
more transparency RIPE NCC need to do some sort of Request For Tender 
(RFT) - need some clarification about that.

5) @hpholen said about details related with datacenter contacts under 
"NDA" - okay, but can RIPE NCC at least reveal information what are 
datacenters used for A+B locations? Its not related with financial 
information.

6) RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2024 have part "IT Support", are 
its possible to receive max possible detalizations about that spendings?
3.750.000 EUR for sure not smallest part of spendings.

7) RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2024 have part  "Bad Debts and 
Deprecation", are its possible to receive max possible detalizations 
about that spendings? As I understand its not a secret/NDA information. 
Right?


Thank you.
