While i understand this concern, i must say that communities that do not self-regulate, tend to be regulated from above, and that is (usually) not desirable. I think no one is sugesting that RIPE be a regulator, but it should contribute to help the community self-regulate.
I am no longer convinced that political regulation is undesirable. Historically, regulation through governments came about wherever self-regulation got out of hand and turned into abuse - and I believe that is what is starting to happen here. rgds, SL
