There is always room for common sense in RIPE. The request was discussed by the TF and as a result, the TF communicated that the membership of the TF had been decided and that it wouldn't make sense at that point to add more members as the work was well underway. In addition to that the TF took a number of steps to increase transparency and to make it easier to contribute to the work of the TF. Kind regards, Mirjam
