If RIPE offers services outside their IP registry task, it should accomodate for it.
Answers when those sorts of questions are raised about providing things like DNS monitoring services (for a fee) are much, much harder to find. More so when the NCC competes with its members. FYI one NCC member was forced to abandon its plans for a commercial DNS monitoring service because the NCC started doing this "for free" (at first) and cherry-picked all the best customers. Bad. Very very bad.
I seems to me that you are mixing "DNS monitoring" (in general) and "DNS monitoring for TLD operators". Here we are speaking about "monopoly for monopoly". Speaking for .cz I would very much doubt that we would buy such commercial DNS monitoring if it wasn't from RIPE NCC. We would rather build some platform ourselves and offer it to other TLD operators (on CENTR, OARSI or whatever grounds).
