It's not advertising. RIPE NCC doesn't advertise. But it does do a lot of work (as do the other RIRs) on explaining to Govts and other bodies
No it hasn't been canned. It was approved by the membership (by a fairly narrow margin) at the last GM. that the internet works quite well as it does and that the whole thing shouldn't be handed over to the ITU (which is a serious threat, although less serious than it was, largely due to the work that RIPE et al have been doing). This is what is meant by "outreach".
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.

agreed 100%
However, note that although the budget has increased by 7%, the spending per member (adjusted by the rate of inflation) has actually decreased, as the number of members has risen. Nigel

Hello everyone, I still want my free-for-every-LIR access to NRTM of RIPE DB; hopefully so do other LIRs. How do I make it happen without attending GM? Can this be made into one of the polls? Kind regards, Pawel Tyll.

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.

Indeed. And the best place to discuss this would be the MAT working group. Nigel
