RE: TTM as a regular service

Henk et al
     many thanks for a fine document (as befits a fine service).
Just two comments at the minute:

1.  The way in which membership (section 2.3) is handled is
simple and straightforward.  However, at current levels of LIR-service
fees, it's not equitable; a 'small' LIR taking TTM service gets bumped
up two levels to 'large', but a 'large' LIR gets no benefit at all.
It would be slightly fairer if TTM service moved you up one category,
though still unfair to 'large' LIRs.  Perhaps this needs to be looked
at in the overall context of categories and charges for **all** services.

2.  The service contract needs to be carefully worded especially
when it comes to disclosure of results.  The views of RIPE NCC and
of the service community need to be reflected, and protected, here.

All the best.
