Perhaps someone can clear up my understanding on the ETNO question. Torunn Narvestad <tna@telenor.net> wrote on 30/04/2006 19:44:35:
I do not at all support this policy proposal.
And I also have to agree with Gert Doering who said in the address policy WG that there has been very quiet around this proposal, and that the reason for this can be that ETNO claims thay "unanimously support this proposal".
According to this page: http://www.etno.be/Default.aspx?tabid=1239 Telenor is a member of ETNO. Does this mean that ETNO has falsely claimed unanimous support among its members? Or has Telenor changed its mind? Earlier Per Heldal asked:
Does this mean that ETNO assume they have some form of veto in the RIPE community? I can't see any reason why ETNO's vote should count for more than any other _individual's_ opinion regardless of who they claim to represent.
Again, perhaps I misunderstand how RIPE works. Per refers to ETNO's vote but I thought that ETNO had no vote at all in RIPE working groups. My understanding was that individuals have a vote, not organizations. Have I misunderstood something here? --Michael Dillon
