I take note of your proposal to allow requesters to receive this information by other means than faxes. I think it's valuable because it allows for more flexibility in the service that we provide to the members and, from a technical point of view, would not represent a problem for us to implement. But I would comment that, for instance, using a paper letter would require a staff member at the RIPE NCC to actually print the letter, stuff it in an envelope and send it.
Er, perhaps you have got matters confused ? Can you please explain to me who works for who here ? Your objective should *NOT* be to minimise the work for RIPE staff but to provide a service - at economical cost - to the members who pay for it. If you can propose such a fully automated system that no staff are actually required for anything, then well done; I look forward to the membership fee going towards zero. If you are just trying to make life easy for yourselves, I am against this. Again, please remember who works for who.
I would like the opinion of the other members on the proposal, considering its potential impact on the utilisation of the resources of the RIPE NCC.
Does anyone else care ? Peter
