Re: [ncc-services-wg] ripe rejecting "valid" e-mail
... This goes back to my old example of "You must be registered with your local Chamber of Commerce and send us a copy of the certificate to join RIPE" arguement. This was changed - but only after many years.
Could you give us an example and/or timeframe for that? I am curious when/how/why an "organisation" (RIPE) - which doesn't have the concept of membership - would request any certificate. Puzzled...

Most of the '90s from memory.

In fact, RIPE-257: -- quote -- The RIPE NCC can only supply services to organisations that operate as a legal entity in the RIPE NCC service region. Therefore, together with the "The Standard RIPE NCC Service Agreement", the RIPE NCC requires you to send a copy of your organisation's registration with the local Chamber of Commerce, or the equivalent. The RIPE NCC will only sign "The Standard RIPE NCC Service Agreement" in the English language. -- end -- The "or equivalent" was only added later. There is still the point that "humans" are "legal entities" in a number of legal territories, including England. There should be no reason that you should be a company to joing RIPE. Peter
