I only wish that I could even answer that question.  Sasdly, I cannot, for
the simple reason that the various RIPE legal, policy, and procedure
documents which I have seen so far, and which other people have been kind
enough to point me to, have not served to clarify what the current policy
with respect to corporate registration documents, or if there even exists
a current policy with respect to those documents.  (My sense is that there
currently exists -no- policy relating to those documents.)

It would be technically inaccurate, I think, and a misuse of the English
language to say that I desire to see a change to something which does not
now even exist.
