In any members association, the association is legitimated to act against 
members that don’t follow the rules.

 

It is not a matter of “police”, nobody is asking the RIR to be the Internet 
police as some folks stated in this discussion (here or in other lists). Saying 
that is basically diverting the discussion to a different place: We can’t do 
anything, so we ask the governments to legislate over Internet because we 
aren’t capable of self-regulate.

 

It is a matter of 1) the rights of members and 2) the obligations of the 
association with the members.

 

Even if you don’t have 2) above, members can scale it to LEA/courts. However, 
not having those rights explicitly worded out, may preclude LEA, courts, etc., 
to take actions.

 

Having specific wording will *immediately* allow courts and judicial experts, 
to confirm that it was against the rules of the association. Done.

 

Again, it may differ a bit in the laws from country to country (I doubt it will 
be too much anyway). I’m speaking from what I know, not being a lawyer, but 
with some experience in dealing with courts and cases.

ARIN Members have rights and responsibilities which are specified by ARIN’s 
Bylaws and the ARIN Registration Services Agreement (ARIN RSA); none of them 
presently speak to the matter of routing of IP address blocks.

 

I think this is part of the reason it has been declared out-of-scope. The 
misunderstanding about “speaking of routing”. Is not the case, we are speaking 
about members should respect the exclusive right of use of other members. 
Hijacking with BGP is only the mean to break that right.

 

ARIN administers the ARIN registry - this is done in accordance with ARIN 
Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM).   Both ARIN Members and customers have 
been issued address space in the ARIN registry, and this issuance results in a 
limited set of rights to specific entries therein.   While ARIN can indeed have 
policies whose compliance is necessary to maintain those rights, we have 
historically been quite careful to have policies whose requirements are germane 
to the actual operation of registry, and rather 

 

If a member is abusing the rights of other members, by hijacking their 
resources, then the registry information is not valid, at least during the time 
this event is happening.

 

than any orthogonal purposes.   To the extent that number resource policy 
creates obligations in areas not directly related to registry administration, 
it would be very prudent for ARIN to update the ARIN Bylaws and/or RSA to make 
these additional obligations quite clear those being made subject to same. 

 

And I probably agree with that, and that’s why I think it should be better done 
in policy.

 

Thanks!
