Not being members, we obviously were not privy to these discussions or deci=

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 t=
o be available after Dec 31. We were waiting to see what the "DENIED" outpu=
t looked like before we implemented our changes, so there was no impact. Th=
is too is appreciated.
And thank you to the many community and RIPE members who offered and provid=
ed assistance and support.
Thank you.
