this illustrates a procedural problem i have.  the ncc's lawyers
represent the ncc.  who represents the ripe community?

the ncc's lawyers rightly act to protect the ncc's interest.  that
does not always coincide with the community's interest.

hypothetical: the behavior of an ncc employee or board member or
whatever raises a coc or even legal issue.  who advises the coc team
or community member(s) affected?

i hit this recently on a small matter.  when sad childish offensive
content was posted to the ripe list, to protect the ncc under dutch
law, the ncc legal team wanted it expunged.  aside from my feelings
that an archive is an archive, there are issues if, as one of the
people who the perp attacked out of band, i might need a proper record
for future legal action.  who represents the community's needs and
view?
