Hi,
I also like to start a vote, that this mailing list is only open for RIPE members or people from the RIPE region.
Members could be proofed easily and for the RIPE region I would count on sender email addresses with a TLD from the RIPE region and a mailserver that has an RIPE IP address.
This mailing list, just like the RIPE meetings, is part of the RIPE community and, as such, open to everyone. I'm not sure if you are being serious or sarcastic, to be honest, but I wanted to make that very plain indeed.
Thats a basic question: why should anybody not associated with the RIPE region be part of the RIPE community ?
The internet is global I'm involved in a lot of regional mailing lists for regions that I don't live in and I don't ever need to justify myself
A cannot vote in the Nederlands or influence the politics or law processes there, if Im not a legal entity in the Nederlands.
That's not true. You're an EU citizen :) EU law is binding in both jurisdictions .. (sorry - you chose the analogy)
Regards,
Brian, Co-chair, RIPE AA-WG
