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

+1

This! Thanks, Nick.

Especially:
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.

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
