Max,
I'm going to repeat stuff you already know. Sorry!
Regarding the source of the traffic, right now in IPv4 we have the situation where we have:
IANA -> RIPE NCC -> LIR -> PI recipient
Once the link between the RIPE NCC and the LIR, or between the LIR and PI recipient is broken, the space is completely untraceable.
why is broken ? because Ripe do not implement relation between PI holder thru Database information.
Dead PI is like Dead Domain name.
a simple procedure thru mail communication can force to have news about "may be Dead" block and take the good decision.
To force "Contractual Link with Ripe" for PI bloc is not the good way. To force Fees is not good too.
To be clear, I don't care about a signed contract, and I really don't care about fees. What you are talking about is an agreement between two parties, the RIPE NCC and the address holder. Something like this(*): PI holders must maintain an up to date e-mail address with the RIPE NCC. If they do not, the PI space will be returned to the unused pool. I support this, also. :) -- Shane (*) When I write it, not when lawyers write it.
