But if the members agree that it is a useful service to provide to it's membership it seems perfectly fine for them to provide this service.
We will need somebody to keep track of who is using what regarding ipv6 addresses. Since the RIPE NCC already has systems for doing just that in ipv4, it seems that it is not a bad synergy with their existing services.
Please stop playing political word games. You first justify your statement by saying "A is neccessary" then when A is shown to be based on questionable data, you say, "well now that we have done A anyway, lets do B since we can". Next I expect your assertion "B" to be doubted, and you will start on topic "C". Back to the original point, managing (potentially) scarce resources is, to me, the primary role of RIPE. Everything else is fluff and - basically - self-agrandisment (sp?). Peter
