People seem to be confused about the meaning of "critical infrastructure" so I decided to see what Google has to say. The first thing it comes up with is an American government organization called the Department for Homeland Security. On their question and answer page they say this: http://www.ciao.gov/publicaffairs/qsandas.htm
1.) What is a critical infrastructure?
The USA Patriot Act defines critical infrastructures as those "systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters."
Why should Europe and the RIPE region care about what the US defines as critical infrastructure?
Es gibt Luegen, verdammte Luegen und RIPE-141(-219)-Netzantraege.
Translated: There are lies, damned lies and RIPE-141 request forms.
It is RIPE-219. RIPE-141 is dead.

Because that same "Critical infrastructure" is critical to many/most europeans.
