Daniel, Wilfried, ...

While this is true, I view the local registries very much as customers of the NCC as well. We provide a service for you. One of the tasks of the local-ir group is to provide feedback (critisism, requests) about that service to the NCC and maybe even complain to others if the NCC doesn't provide the required service.

Even more important is the opportunity to put the local-ir forces together to defend the Internet address room ... ...

...

While I don't want to try to keep bothering you to reconsider your decision - let me say that I think we (all the Local-IRs) were *VERY* happy with the way this WG was chaired by you.

I want to second this.

Thank you for your kind words. They really help sometimes.

...

I hope that we can find a way to keep this collaborative attitude instead of implementing "pressure groups" within RIPE.

I hope so too.

Daniel
