For many, many years of dealing with RIPE NCC, we somehow used to deal with all problems using the latter, open approach. Maybe it's because RIPE was born in an academic environment ... or simply because the open approach worked!

I'm aware, like many other people, that RIPE NCC is not an academic institution any more. Why, however, to change things that worked so fine for years? Let's discuss!

there is a difference between open discussion and wild american usenet style flaming and hysteria. i look to ripe members for the former, not the latter. randy
