when I read RIPE Database Terms and Conditions ...
I suspect the requirements for operating a publicly accessible whois are found in the list of requirements for opertaing an RIR. This document is referenced in the RIR MOU but I don't have copy yet. If an RIR develops something outside of these RIR requirements then I think they can set any kind of restriction they want. If the requirement is somehow superseded by EU laws then they obviously have to follow those laws. However, nobody has pointed to a specific law that would restrict access to abuse contacts to 1000 queries per day. Thank You
