Participation by "the wider RIPE community" hasn't been as overwhelming
as one could hope for.  As a second-best pick, I go for "informed input
from people with experience in the field, made transparent to everyone
interested in what's happening".

So, yes, I think input from RIR staff can be very valuable to policy
building - the community is watching, and I fully trust the community
to call "STOP!" if something questionable is proposed.

If we do think, as RIPE community, that RIR employees should not be 
permitted to participate in policy making, we need to adjust the PDP 
to actually say so.
