According to this page: http://www.etno.be/Default.aspx?tabid=1239 Telenor is a member of ETNO. Does this mean that ETNO has falsely claimed unanimous support among its members?
I don't know for sure, but it would be no surprise. These telecoms organisations are known to have a mind of their own unlike what we're used to in our consensus-driven community.
Or has Telenor changed its mind?
Only Telenor can tell ;)
Earlier Per Heldal asked:
Does this mean that ETNO assume they have some form of veto in the RIPE community? I can't see any reason why ETNO's vote should count for more than any other _individual's_ opinion regardless of who they claim to represent.
Again, perhaps I misunderstand how RIPE works. Per refers to ETNO's vote but I thought that ETNO had no vote at all in RIPE working groups. My understanding was that individuals have a vote, not organizations. Have I misunderstood something here?
I should have used the term "voice" instead of "vote". Sorry about the confusion. Point is; ETNO members should have to stand up for themselves, individually, if they want to be heard in the community ... just like everybody else has to. //per -- Per Heldal http://heldal.eml.cc/
