989,000 on measurement - presumably the usb "dongles" project - why exactly are we wasting members money on this ?
Because the members seem to want it. If the members come out in large numbers and tell them not to do it then it will stop.
My view of this is that we have been vaguely aware of this business but we have had no idea of who started it, the budget, the goals etc. When were the members asked? I think measurement could be a good idea but absolutely not the way it has been going on during the last few years. There has to be a clear connection to a working group, goals decided by the members, an obvious budget for each project etc. And I don't think it has to be the RIPE NCC perform all the measurements every time. There might be other solutions.
