hi,

thank you for this input; I would express my strong agreement and add
some more reasons:

- archives ready for historical research on RIPE's (at large) activity;
- provide organized open data;
- write and publish periodic articles on historical facts and events.

moreover, I think it's time that every big organisation involved in
Internet governance (RIRs, IANA, ICANN, IETF, etc) starts, if not
already started, to re-collect documents and information of the last
decades and present data and results in a friendly (according to the
relevant standards) format.

all this could help to ease access to "our" information according to an
historical perspective.

thank you
