Hi I am a little concerned with the email we recieved today (copied below in part). This was sent to the community and enforced without any reason why or justification or even a dicussion as the the change in working practice. As the NCC work for the benefit of the RIPE community i would have thought this sort of change in working practice would have to be agreed with the community before the announcment went out. I may have missed the discussion on the list and if so i am sorry but i still would think it manners to explain why. I for one found this functionality very useful.
