<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Mihail, you're confusing policy governance and operational
<br>
micromanagement. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">These two things are fundamentally different.<br>
<br>
No doubt there's a bunch of people working in the RIPE NCC who have <br>
visibility into per-port switch traffic counters, and exactly what model <br>
of servers are used, and in which rack location and what style of PSU <br>
they're connected up to, and maybe even whether a port should use a grey <br>
cable or a black cable. I'm also sure the CFO has proper oversight into <br>
material expenditure - for sure his presentation at the GM a couple of <br>
days ago suggested that there were appropriate fiscal controls in place <br>
in the organisation.<br>
<br>
But what you're asking for has nothing whatever to do with functional <br>
corporate governance. I can see why it might be of passing interest from <br>
the point of view of idle curiosity, but that's about it. No-one is <br>
going to benefit from turning the RIPE NCC from a working organisation <br>
into a paper mill where every unit of activity needs to be turned into <br>
10 units of reports.<br>
