I do not see ARIN or APNIC entered these kind of areas that are not
"registration" orienated and as time moves on it would appear more and
more RIPE services are not registration orienated.

And you do not see this a procedurally wrong?  Wherever I work, whenever
they want to do "something new", they need to write it up fully, indicate
the budget and manpower needed and then submit to management.  Based on
that info, management can make an intelligent decision.

Instead, we have 1 paragraph describing what will be done in general and
once the AP2004 is approved based on that, only then do we find out how
much all this cost.

I don't know a single company that works like this.
