Precisely.

I believe that a condition for their continued acceptance as such
is that the RIPE NCC avoid amalgamating quasi-judicial functions
to its "land-registry" function.

In my country, we have an agency called the Registry of Deeds,
which performs a land-registry function and acts as an agency of
record.  I expect that most other countries have each their own
agency with similar functions.  I am not aware of any which also
has a judicial or disciplinary function.
