You have been. You might not like how that process have been done, but you have most certainly had the opportunity to comment on it all on the mailinglists.
And opinions like mine are noted and then ignored. I am not alone in making these comments, but I may be unique in that I am my own employer, the RIPE membership fees are *mine* and I don't really care about being ridiculed for talking about the lack of cloth in the emporers new clothes in public.
You missed the bit about *asking* us what we think.
No, I said in another email I think that the WG should discuss the projects, and running ones based on performance. However, the WG can not have the decision right as that is with the AGM.
Why not ? The AGM should be a rubber stamp occasion where the "consensus" arrived at either on mailing lists on through online voting is approved for legal reasons. Come on, why not ? Your turn to answer a question instead of answering with another question.
Oh so I am also "in power"? And we haven't even had the first meeting! Wow ;-)
I was not referring to you individually, but making a general point about what the RIPE membership is meant to think they have power for.
I don't think anyone have forgotten this. Much of the input from the KPMG survey centers around this and from what I understand that was the sole reason for Axel to start the effort. I am sure Axel can comment on this...
I would have thought an opitional quarterly online survey would provide better value than a once-in-a-decade KPMG one. But change might come. Peter
