So would I. But I can imagine going to my boss and saying "there are two alternatives for securing my address space: a pro-bono, best effort thing run by Randy or a professional one run on a commercial basis by Mega-Certicates Plc. Which would you like me to use?
And why would that be better than having a not-for-profit org like RIPE NCC that we are all a part of as a member, already doing this ?
no one said otherwise. more careful reading would notice
