What gives you the impression that the CSTD is a MS body?

not the CSTD I think!!

Look, here's the latest in EC activities by the T&A:
https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/ripe-ncc-hosts-brussels-roundtable-meeting-for-governments-and-regulators

This is not MSism either, this is EC.

When the RIPE community decides on IP address policies in an open,
bottom up consensus driven manner, where ALL are welcome to voice
their opinions and have equal say, then THAT is MSism in action.

When the RIPE NCC (the Secretariat for the RIPE Community) holds a
roundtable to help educate government folk and exchange views, that is
EC not MSism.  See the difference?
