At least if Dutch law or EU (so called) law significantly interferes with the interests of the RIPE member community it should be an option to regularly check about relocation into a less restrictive jurisdiction (or even diversification over nultiple jurisdictions).
I vastly prefer a *reliable* and non-discriminatory jurisdiction, even if sometimes annoying wrt GDPR or tax paying. The netherlands are a fairly good choice as far as history teaches us, other, especially non-EU countries in the RIPE service region, not so much. Some due to government stability, others due to corruption, again others due to human rights issues, general cost of living, etc. (Germany, for example, would not be a better choice than NL because you need 3 extra FTE to deal with Tax paperwork and nowadays immigration control...) Gert Doering -- long term RIPE member -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
