Just wondering: no audits have been done before 2009?
Oh, definitely yes! Just have a look at this document http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-423 dated "Nov 2007", which already was a sort of iteration to "properly" describe what the usual approach for, and framework of, an audit was. I'll leave the rest of your questions to be answered by the NCC :-)
Does RIPE have an 'audit team'? Of how many people? Are they located (and thus bound by law in) the Netherlands?
We acknowledge there is a lack of clarity and transparency on our abuse and complaint procedure. We are in the process of redeveloping this process to improve our services in this area. We will present the revised process during the RIPE 63 Meeting in Vienna.
Great. Sounds like a reason to be there :)
Thanks again Athina. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
