No, that's not true. There is no order function for EOF, RIPE and RIPE
NCC. While EOF has a RIPE WG status it is not a RIPE WG (this was at
least my understanding). And the only relation between RIPE and RIPE NCC
is that RIPE NCC is "provid(es)ing administrative support for RIPE".

There is no overall funding for RIPE. For what? Meeting costs and the
like are paid for by the meeting participants.
