The rules of the game are set by policy. Policy is set by the RIPE
community. It only takes a handful of people saying yes and the rules
are changed. Then ALL resource holders, LIRs, End Users MUST obey the
new rules. If you persistently break the rules you can be closed down
and have resources taken away. To me, that sounds like a definition of
absolute authority.
Denis,
It certainly does sound like the definition of absolute authority.
The question is to what degree does this mode of operation describe the
legal and regulatory framework within which the RIPE NCC operates. I'd
politely suggest: not even remotely.
