Hi all,

Indeed, RIPE is the Community and it's open to all humans in the Region to discuss into the Working Groups and/or at the meetings. RIPE-NCC is the legal and financial entity, with a regular balance and budget. It is the real legal umbrella for the Community. As ISOC is for IETF. We had the same problem in NRO creation. We had to incorporate NRO into a legal entity (in Uruguay) to allow protection and contract signing with ICANN and the American DoC. So, maybe, we need the same in Switzerland. We've a lot of discussion associations, but not a real legal interface that can protect us against dangerous laws and can seat at various tables to make our voice heard.
