RE: [lir-wg] RIPE costs and staffing again

Peter, I share your sentiments on the size of the organisation, and the specific level of non-core activities that should not be funded by RIPE NCC membership fees, the RIPE meeting is one area that should be fully funded by those attending. The RIPE meeting should also have no impact to daily operations. I certainly feel that a higher level of productivity should have been deployed irrespective of the volume. Regards, Neil.
