Mihail, you're confusing policy governance and operational micromanagement. These two things are fundamentally different. No doubt there's a bunch of people working in the RIPE NCC who have visibility into per-port switch traffic counters, and exactly what model of servers are used, and in which rack location and what style of PSU they're connected up to, and maybe even whether a port should use a grey cable or a black cable. I'm also sure the CFO has proper oversight into material expenditure - for sure his presentation at the GM a couple of days ago suggested that there were appropriate fiscal controls in place in the organisation. But what you're asking for has nothing whatever to do with functional corporate governance. I can see why it might be of passing interest from the point of view of idle curiosity, but that's about it. No-one is going to benefit from turning the RIPE NCC from a working organisation into a paper mill where every unit of activity needs to be turned into 10 units of reports. Nick
