Actually I think there is something what we are missing in RIPE (copied Marco 
on this), that will be very useful.

A web page as a kind of "ToC" with all the links to all policies, may be 
ordered thematically (for example).

There is something close:

https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-policies

But some kind of order in that page, will be very helpful.

    I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here, Owen. Yes, the overall 
policy is broken out into thematic documents but unless I am very much 
mistaken, they are updated through a clearly documented process and the history 
of documents is meticulously tracked. For instance, the PDP was first 
documented in ripe-350 (https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-350) and 
that page clearly indicates the document that obsoleted it and the overall 
history of updates. The most recent version of the document 
(https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-710) has a reciprocal history on 
its page.
    
    There is also an archive of all policy proposals: 
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/archived-policy-proposals/archive-policy-proposals
    
    Whether there should be a single manual or thematically distinct documents 
is, frankly, a matter of taste. What is clearly important is the transparency 
and documentation of the overall process. If you are aware of gaps or errors in 
the published history, you should let the RIPE NCC staff know as I expect 
they'd be keen to address them. 
    
    Kind regards,
