[ncc-services-wg] 2012-07's direct engagement option

Not really. 2012-07 says 'the RIPE NCC may require the payment of reasonable charges according to the terms of the non-member service contract'. Making the DAU contract *more* expensive than becoming a full member does not even come close to 'reasonable' in my opinion.

But this is something that the board and the AGM will have to decide on. And because potential DAU users are not members, that is really looking like two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner, without the sheep having a vote...
