Hi Niall,
Kurtis,
The membership I mean is the one which has voting rights at the AGM.
The mission of the NCC mentions making "services" available to "members". On paper, this would seem to be a reference to a broader community than the "LIR community in the RIPE (operational) area".
In principle this does exist already (although it's being reworked ;-): The TTM is a separate contract (+invoice); although this doesn't seem to give me more votes in the AGM :-) And there's the Enterprise registry thing, which is not meant to get (additional) address space allocated/assinged by the NCC. (Again, I _think_ this type doesn't give you voting rights, but I may be wrong).
I think Daniel and João understood what I meant.
Probably :-)
Niall
Wilfried.
