Ah, ok, my apologies. So, because I'd like to be clear here, you are objecting
to this proposal on the basis of something that may or may not happen in the

If you want to be uncharitable, yes. However, this is the *last*
point at which it is even *possible* for me to object to what I
see as a dangerous slippy slope.
Ok, but do you have any issues with 2017-02 as written, bearing in mind what
Marco and myself have already said about the policies around non-adherence to
RIPE policies?
Yes, it adds another thing to an already long list of things that
can trigger a monopoly provider to deny service to its
(involuntary) customers.
If you're determined to manufacture consensus by declaring an
entire class of objections, to whit: medium to long term
consequences of such a proposal, out of bounds; there is not much
I can do. The record will show I've made my stand and history
shall judge.

Also one point I raised remains so far entirely unaddressed - why does a
proposal and its implementation plan prescribe the use of email (in 2018!) for
contact information?
As always, if you wish to propose something that involves other media, please
do. But at present, this is the medium in use.
Thanks,
Brian
