The policy states how the statistics are presented, therefore I think this issue should be addressed by the policy.

RIPE NCC implements the policies and if we, the RIPE community, want some things to be implemented in a certain way then the only way to "ask" it is through the policy, otherwise our voices have no value.

Regarding the lack of details at point B., that is in my opinion an insult to the community, regardless of what the policy is about. We should not accept generic statements like that. If nobody bothered to really make an impact analysis then just say it.

Hi,

While I do agree with most of the concerns you present there, I'm
wondering if this is not an issue to be discussed in some other working
group (??? services ??? database ???). They don't seem to be related to
the policy itself, but to the way RIPE NCC implements it and reflects
the changes in the database.

Marco ? Chairs ? anybody else ?
