The NCC cannot *consult* for them because there would be a clear conflict of interest were we to accept work and money from the comission.
Hmm, I see now what you mean. Well at least point them to someone who is competent instead of having them end up with some twit of a Brussels consultant who as Wilfried pointed out will probably produce the predictable results.
Of course we can (and will) provide them with information once we know enough about the purpose of this to convince me that I can defend this towards the contributors.
Ok - fine. Perhaps you need to have a new RIPE work item called "Reeducating the Commission" :-). It would after all be part of the lobbying/training function discussed already by the contributors.
Are we communicating?
Yep. Cheers, Dave
