being relatively avid
So any LIR, who pays RIPE and doesn’t agree to the term “just trust us, we do best” is actually just “avid”, correct? I’m not sure about other members. But from my perspective - members funded org structure means you should have report on every single cent spent, no exclusions possible. How many servers put and what for and what are traffic amounts on each switch port. This is how governance works normally. You don’t have to read all reports, but they should exist. You don’t simply trust your bank, you do research when choosing. You do not trust apartment online photos, you go and check. You demand from your government full transparency. But when it comes to RIPE - doing NDA on supply chain is somehow ok. Regardless of *any* personalities and regardless of *any* trust you might or might not have in them - this is terribly wrong and leads to terrible things. I will be happy to understand how “trust us, what we do is not your business” model can be better by any means.
