I agree. This is one more important reason to focus on the WG mailing list and the WG session at RIPE meetings. I think what NCC have done with the roundtable is good, particularly how they have evolved the approach. But my concern is with the WG. That is why may main suggestions were how to enrich the contact with policy makers in that context. And while I see the Commission as being important in that regard I think we should not focus entirely on them, far from it. So is there for example a Russian policy maker who might wish to speak in Warsaw? I am already thinking forward to the ITU PP-14 in Busan, Korea.

Dear Gordon,
just one remark - RIPE region is not equivalent of EU region at all.
And unfortunately we have issues with involvements from others countries of our region. I think it should be also special point on our agenda.
An just - for example - for them it is not one day roundtrip at all. Sometimes it could require some obligations and someone can expect some concrete results from such trips.
It is just a fact - but I think that we seriously should discuss how we can outreach the whole region.
