I think it is out of scope It is a slippery slope Next you'll have people demanding that RIPE check what content is published on IP blocks ..
You are right saying, that a listing does not proof anything, but its a good indication (like I sayd above).
Not necessarily. There are a multitude of reasons why an IP block can get listed - while it *might* be an indicator that you or I can use for our own *private* networks, it is not something that an organization like RIPE should be doing, as there is absolutely no standard or certification of DNS blacklists.
RIPE NCC could ask the member, whats going on with that netblock, if they see a listing. I guess a lot of members do not even realize, that their old netblocks are routed somewhere else.
RIPE NCC has to check the use of assigned netblocks anyway (if I understand some rules right).
No - the "usage" is related to the assignment rules
It cannot be that assigned netblocks are used by non-members or members the netblock wasnt assigned to …
