I am firmly convinced that the RIPE NCC as an organization and the RIPE

If you only concern yourself with IPv6 address allocation schemes,
routing policies, and open-source repositories with cool code (which I
much prefer), then you shouldn't be surprised when the EU Commission
ignores you as an organization and regularly makes terrible decisions.
Someone has to go to those canapé receptions...
Seems RIPE NCC needs to get better at promoting their work on
interaction with the EU. They do go to some of those canapé
receptions, and even organize some of their own, such as the
annual Government Roundtable in Brussels, where the chairs
of this WG also try to attend.
But yes, this is very much what this WG is all about.
