Hi Randy, I don't agree with this rationale, as in all the other RIRs is the same. The ONLY difference is that here we have an explicit different name for the organization (RIPE NCC) and the community (RIPE). But this is the same in *all* the other RIRs. In fact, the "lack" of a different name sometimes create confusions in other RIRs. Sometimes I need to say "LACNIC organization" and "LANIC community" explicitly to differentiate both. You can replace LACNIC here by APNIC, AFRINIC or ARIN (even if in this case it is a bit different because historical reasons, AC instead of co-chairs, etc.).
