About what we are doing: There is much mis-information and conjecture going on. Therefore it is important to get measurable facts out there in real time. We are being careful with analysis and conscious about not causing further breakage. But there is value in documenting the facts. About ISOC: It is ISOC's role to make policy statements supporting "The Internet is for Everyone!" and as an ISOC trustee I fully support that. About what the RIRs could do: I am not sure if it would be appropriate for the RIPE NCC to make policy statements on this issue. What would be the legitimacy of such statements? What would they do to the neutrality of the RIPE NCC? RIPE making a statement is an entirely different matter. That process is best started by enlisting support among the RIPE community, on the RIPE list and by talking to the chair. Daniel
