The proposal about the 5 C's sounds good except you also have to include whois access policies. If you can't get to the data easily and be able to use it it is of no good. Right now there is a complicated patchwork of whois access policies. Most of them were made up by a small group of people who really don't consider all the issues. The biggest problem here is that RIPE claims to have a legal decision about whois access but they won't release it publicly. Nobody has provided a reason why this legal opinin has not been released to the community. People try to spend time attacking me and saying my comments are not constructive, etc. This is being done to divert attention from the fact that RIPE won't release the information to the community. RIPE needs to release this legal opinion to the community. There is no excuse for withholding it. Thnak You
