Re: [anti-abuse-wg] VOTE: members and RIPE region only

why should anybody not associated with the RIPE region be part of the RIPE community ?

Because we (abusix) for example have proposed policies to APNIC and AfriNIC. These policies are now in place and help solving problems worldwide. I guess that is reason enough.

A cannot vote in the Nederlands or influence the politics or law processes there, if Im not a legal entity in the Nederlands.

Isn't the internet a cool place? ;-) Tobias
