Nobody on this mailinglist has access to supporting documents or when they do are bound by NDA so nobody on this list is capable of making sany sane judgement
It would be interesting to see a copy of the letter that was sent to Max.
So please as a simple request, please take this to where it belongs and contact hostmaster@ripe about this or start a arbitration as described in 174:
Was that mentioned in the letter? If not, it should be. Lots of companies offshore work including us. However, even if the work is being done in India by people with email addresses from an Indian company, all of our networks are still owned and operated by BT. We don't outsource core assets, and I doubt that anyone else does. Hostmasters who see something that looks like a transfer of number resources should assume that it is really just outsourcing of work, and make inquiries to confirm the status of the number resources. In fact, its about time we get rid of that horrid name. The people are not masters of anything or anyone, and the work that they do has nothing to do with hosts. They handle member relations and we should have a name for them that reflects that. --Michael Dillon
