Not being members, we obviously were not privy to these discussions or =
decisions. Not your fault, of course, just a reality.

I appreciate the decision and accommodation=85 And I am sure the =
community appreciates it. As users have no doubt realized, the proxy =
data continued to be available after Dec 31. We were waiting to see what =
the "DENIED" output looked like before we implemented our changes, so =
there was no impact. This too is appreciated.
And thank you to the many community and RIPE members who offered and =
provided assistance and support.
Thank you.
