I'm not arguing that the RIPE and the RIPE NCC do good work, I'm arguing for more accountability. The RIPE NCC meeting for example needs at most to be two days IMO and for most members attending a two day meeting to cover the specific RIPE NCC functions is far more justifiable than a 5 day meeting.
I agree that 5 days is too much - but 2 days isn't sufficient either. For me, one of the most important aspects of the meetings is "meet people face-to-face" - and this needs time. If you don't count the EOF, the meeting actually only has 3 days (half tuesday, full wednesday+thursday, half friday)...
