What organizations have had the same low turn-out for AGMs and interest 
in the agendas of the AGMs? Even if you could not attend the AGM, did 
you bring up the issues on the mailinglists? Remember that RIPE NCC is 
not there by it self. It is there for the reasons, and in the way we 
have choose to have it. It has changed the ways we have voted (or 
abstained from voted) it to change. We might not like the outcome, but 
the better that we are now discussing this and that we had the KPMG 
survey to act as a starting point to move on.
