RIPE != RIPE NCC. RIPE doesn’t have a membership. And it’s not an RIR.

You’re right that participation levels are low but there is no practical way to improve that. If there was, it would have been done. We can’t force people to post to the lists or come to meetings or submit policy proposals. This is a much, much wider problem in society. Countries can’t even get enough of their citizens to vote in elections.

I think you need to pause for a few months and then think *very* carefully before proceeding Jordi. You also need to pay attention to the advice that you appear to have previously ignored: for instance the need for clear problem statements. You seem to think you have given a clear problem statement(s). Nobody else does.
