I defny vote for that RIPE drafts should only be discussed by RIPE members and that a 50% votes of RIPE members are enough to accept a draft.
Therein lies stagnation, but perhaps that is what you're aiming for? Assuming you mean RIPE NCC members (anybody can be a member of RIPE, it is just a community, and your guess as to the number of members of the community is as good as anybody's), then when I looked a couple of years ago, 2% of RIPE NCC members voted for the members of the NCC's executive board. 2%. How many of the members do you think get actively involved in policy discussions? (Hint: it is much less than 50%.) All of the RIRs have open policy discussion forums, just as the IETF has no members and anybody can contribute to the Internet's standards. Good luck changing that. :) Rob
