There *IS* indeed a mandate on the RIPE NCC to provide services to the community at large. The RIPE Database is a fine example. However, the handling of the in-addr tree is a membership service and as such only available to members of the RIPE NCC Association.
I think Wilfrieds said:
But my biggest point of concern here is that this is another instance where pretty *fundamental* operational (and policy) changes get implemented unilaterally by the NCC (should I say hostmaster group here?), without discussion, approval, and a look at the consequences and *NOT EVEN* an information being distributed those *AFFECTED*: the LIR community. We are left to find out by chance.
I would rephrase: When was this deceided and by whom ? -hph
