This really is wildly off-topic, but exactly this happened:

A reminder that governments are the ones in charge. :)
Really off-topic now :o( Its not citizens telling DENIC what to do. It was a German court, and surely DENIC has to do something then ... If Nederland court is telling RIPE NCC to stop forming their internal regulations after the comments from non-members, RIPE NCC will also have to do something too. Great idea btw :o) Anyway: took this from RIPEs homepage "The RIPE NCC is an independent, not-for-profit membership organisation" So again (I want an answer now): why should RIPE NCC has to form it internal procedures and regulations after the will of the world ? And from ripe-514 "10.2 The Executive Board may, at its own discretion, consult the Members about any decisions it plans to take." And I do not find any note, that RIPE-NCC has to listen to whatever-what-people-say arround the world, its only about members ... So it would be the most-easy way to ask its members several abuse-related things at the next general metting (oh, Im so naive). So why should I not attend the next GM and ask: "do we want to have the abuse-mailbox-field to change to be mandatory ?" and we just have a vote there at the GM and finish all the discussion of the last year ?
