RIPE is a separate entity from [[RIPE NCC]], and the two should not be confused. When referring to the RIPE community, however, there is no distinction between RIPE members or [[RIPE NCC]] members. Anyone who has an interest in the way the Internet is being managed or governed is considered as part of the RIPE community.
