The only relevant issue here is whether the RIPE NCC is in compliance with
Dutch / EU law regarding the sanctions.  No doubt the NCC's lawyers and the
Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be able to provide a conclusive
answer, and that we will be informed shortly.

Regarding a presence at either the RIPE meeting or the GM, I see no
particular reason to treat UANI differently to anyone else.  I.e. as Jim
noted, they are welcome to register, pay for and attend the RIPE meeting
and even request observer status at the GM on the discretion of the board.
 But I'm not sure on what basis they are demanding that the GM hold an
emergency debate on something which is a matter of legal procedure, when it
is currently unclear what the RIPE NCC's legal obligations are on the matter.
