Julien, you seem to have misinterpreted what I said. It can not be the job of RIPE to make Anti-Terror-Laws.
I'd like to be very clear that the CleanIT project is not part of RIPE. Due to the work they are doing and the area in which they are operating we thought (and continue to think) that they have some interesting things to say and that it is a good thing that they are bringing their ideas to the community. By inviting the project to speak at the meeting, neither the AA-WG nor the community (and especially not the NCC) explicitly or implicitly endorses the full project. We have said that we feel this is an area that requires more investigation and work, but that doesn't mean that we agree with everything they say. Needless to say, this goes not just for the CleanIT project but anyone who comes to talk to the community. Indeed, if you look at the projects page on partners and participants (http://www.cleanitproject.eu/partners-and-participants/) it explicitly states "These persons or organisations attended Clean IT events and/or exchanged views to contribute to the project. This does not implicate any commitment to temporary or future results from the individuals or their organization." I hope this clears things up to some extent. Brian. Co-chair, RIPE AA-WG
