And as such, that's why we have that long waiting list. I do believe that there is still time in which we can prevent it.

A proposal for a policy that meets the needs of a specific and well
defined group is within this working group's remit. But membership
rules are governed by the RIPE NCC's membership. If you're a member,
you could take that element of your proposal to the Membership
Discussion list:
