great additional resources! Thank you!
I would very much appreciate having an opportunity to discus these affairs more properly and deeply during the upcoming RIPE meeting. Sadly, I haven’t had time and energy to prepare anything, and I don’t think that I’m the right person to open/facilitate a discussion on these topics, as I feel some conflict of interests there.
If the chairs want to facilitate this, I would be interested to contribute in any way I can - as a moderator, bringing more speakers/panelists (external to the RIPE community), sharing more of the documentation I collected over years etc. However, it takes a bit longer to prepare than 2 weeks that we have before RIPE89 -- so we can do it as "interim session" online, or at RIPE90.
