Roland, 

you are almost right.

From http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-49/eof-info.html :

The European Operators Forum (EOF) is a forum where new
technologydevelopments of interest to Internet Protocol network
operators arepresented and discussed.  The EOF has no formal charter or
chair.  The agenda is co-ordinated by a program committee led by Rob
Blokzijl, RIPE Chair. 

Participation is open to all interested parties.  The EOF is normally a
day and a half session that takes place prior to scheduled RIPE Working
Group sessions.  The Program Committee welcomes input for possible
topics and can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. ... 

All sugestions for content go to the eof-coord list.  Anyone willing to
contribute to putting together the EOF programme is welcome to join this
list.  It is an extremely informal group.  Most, if not all, RIPE WG
chairpeople are on the list; but it is not limited to them.  The RIPE NCC
currently supports me to act as a secretary and to look after the
meeting/speaker logistics.

this is not really consistent with

consist of.

 I would much appreciate if EOF gets more input from RIPE operators.

this is a problem with eof, nanog, apricot, ...  the actual running
and decision-making is not done by operators.  it is done by the
usual well-meaning people representing operators.  and, of course,
they are in extreme, and almost amusing, denial that there is a
difference.

i am not sure how foro de redes is currently operated; it used to
be heavily operator run.  it is interesting to note that afnog is
organized and run pretty much by operators.  i guess they can't
afford net.bureaucrats to represent them :-).

At least in apricot's case, if anybody wants to help, and proves that he can
help effectively, he / she is welcome to help .. it kind of boils down to X,
Y and Z are willing to roll up their sleeves and help in everything from
chasing after sponsors, running a registration system etc to actually coming
into the conference venue with a satchel full of access points and wiring the

Operators, vendors, people who represent the operator community, it doesn't

step up to the plate and volunteer.

in europe, same as in the US, there is a limited number of people who are at
least peripherally interested in participating. not everyone is interested
in everything - based on nanog experiences, there are rather large
(proportionally) groups of people who are only interested in discussing
spam, gmail invites or bad analogies for example. in our case, all of this
is merged into one discussion stream. in europe, with ripe running several

Not quite. As far as I'm concerned, NANOG is part of MERIT activities.
And while I'm not certain if NANOG is actually legally organized in any 
way, if it is, it is probably considered to be subsidiary of MERIT

So while NANOG != MERIT, what we have is that NANOG  MERIT

Similarly while EOF != RIPE NCC, it is part of it, i.e. EOF  RIPE

I'm not so certain about RIPE NCC to RIPE relationship though, I suspect
that RIPE NCC is a subset (RIR services or) larger RIPE organization that
is involved in other activities, i.e. RIPE NCC  RIPE

So in this case both EOF and RIPE NCC being subsets of same larger set,
these subsets may intersect (or one subset maybe contained in another or 
equal to it) but we do not know about it without additional data and can
not make logical conclusion that EOF  RIPE NCC. All we can can say is 
both EOF and RIPE NCC represent organized activity of RIPE existing in 
parallel and possibly sharing in some parts of the activity.

But of course, overall funding for RIPE still comes from RIPE NCC, so 
while other activities of RIPE are not necessarilty parts of RIPE NCC
they are still funded by it :)

No, that's not true. There is no order function for EOF, RIPE and RIPE
NCC. While EOF has a RIPE WG status it is not a RIPE WG (this was at
least my understanding). And the only relation between RIPE and RIPE NCC
is that RIPE NCC is provid(es)ing administrative support for RIPE.

 But of course, overall funding for RIPE still comes from RIPE NCC, so

There is no overall funding for RIPE. For what? Meeting costs and the
