More to the point, the RIPE number registry should not be used as a stick for
threatening to beat people up if they don't comply with our current favourite
ideas about how to manage social policy on the internet.
It is a registry, not a police truncheon.
Hello,
(Going perhaps a bit off-topic...)
If people are not able to follow the rules of the registry, maybe they
shouldn't be allowed inside the system... :-)
[Fact 1]
If someone provides falsified documents to the registry, that someone goes
off the wagon.
[Fact 2]
If someone doesn't pay the registry in due time (after several warnings),
that someone goes off the wagon.
<please feel free to add more here, if there are more ways of falling off
the "registry wagon"...>
I would also feel comfortable if someone who indicates a 3rd party e-mail
address as the abuse-mailbox for their _OWN_ address space, goes off the
wagon (after some warnings, of course...).
BTW, some years ago our physical address was added in whois to someone
else's address space in a different RIR and that was _NOT_ a nice
experience...
