If the sanctions mean removal from the RIPE database with a guarantee that the prefix will never be re-issued by the RIPE NCC then you have a guaranteed unique network for a one-time fee. Is this actually sanctions' or a desirable feature?
I don't know what the sanctions would look like, either.
The org: field is optional, and it does not necessarily contain a pointer to the LIR.
My understanding was that all address space allocated or assigned directly by the RIPE NCC has the registrant's organisation object referenced in the inetnum object. If this is the case, all an LIR's allocations are linked directly to it. I could be wrong, but I thought the reference was a requirement enforced by the RIPE NCC.
As far as I can tell based on a few examples, it isn't.
The "org:" attribute is optional as far as syntax is concerned. But business logic applied after the syntax checks makes it mandatory on an allocation inet(6)num object. regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC
