I think that one entity's CSAM-hosting bullet-proof provider is another entities
ransomware-proof business continuity system.   Also thinking about the IETF
DIEM WG problem.

KYC for ASN and IPv6 address blocks would seem to be a much different
situation than FQDNs.
Unmonitored email addresses are a scourge across all sorts of operators.
Fake ones are a different kettle of fish to me.

At one point I heard about a SIP-based project where, with the right
configuration on my SIP proxy, I could pick a phone, dial an *ASN*, and get
connected to operations for that ISP...  That was 15+ years ago, I think.
I certainly never got that working, and I've no idea if it was real.
What I liked about it is that it provided a sort of secret-decoder ring
bypass so that one legitimate operator could reach another one quickly.

While I don't know if voice-by-ASN is a good thing, a way to verify emails
from one operator (including, the RIR itself) to another operator seems like a
good thing.
This is where I'd prefer that RIPE go.

There are many ways to envision such a thing: from rebooting PGP-web-of-trust
key-signing parties at RIR meetings, to having a RIR-operated walled-garden
email+IMAP server. (i.e., email [email protected], but only via ARIN,
RIPE, LACNIC, AFRINIC or APNIC's SMTP submit port. Port-25 is not open)
And a dozen intermediate concepts.  To using something that isn't SMTP.

The carrot is that one can send more reliable reports, and receive reports
without dealing with untraceable spam.  The stick is that you'd lose your
resource if you didn't monitor it.
