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
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 while other activities of RIPE are not necessarilty parts of RIPE NCC they are still funded by it :)
There is no overall funding for RIPE. For what? Meeting costs and the like are paid for by the meeting participants. Arnold
