Not to mention that even though ARDC non-profit status is based in the US,
it has a global reach.

I'm real skeptical of RIPE in regards to
AMPRnet switching over to
registration with them. ARDC would be potentially be
beholden to which ever
LIR has sponsored AMPRnet and to my knowledge ARDC cannot become an LIR as
ARDC is an American (non-profit). In addition to that I've heard rumors of
RIPE being worse when it comes to maintaining legacy status. Unless there
are more specifics that could be elaborated on, I would strongly encourage
ARDC to go with ARIN.
Ok, so IF we moved to RIPE, we would not be signing an agreement with any
LIR. We ARE able to join RIPE ourselves and become an LIR - this has
already been confirmed. It’s not about where an organisation is registered
so much, rather more where the address space will be used, i.e. will it be
used in the RIPE region. For example, the European HAMNET is the single
largest user of our address space I do not believe we would have any
problem convincing RIPE to let us become members.
