What do feelings have to do with NCC membership? There are many
members of the RIPE NCC I'd rather not share the organisation
with but that is not reason to deny them membership.

It was only a small point about "membership" -- which land registries
don't have.
Also, i have read allegations about a "monopoly" regarding the service
region. Afaik, there is a transfer market which contradicts the concept of
said "monopoly" (i.e. can't get more addresses from the RIR, then go to the
market).
that's not an "allegation", it is a STATEMENT OF FACT. The "ip
address market" rgument is wholly invalid because the transfer
policy clearly states that transfers can only happen to a RIR
member. The only exception is legacy space that was never brought under
RIR authority.
There you have it...... legacy space is part of that address market, hence
no "monopoly". :-))
