6.1 The Member acknowledges applicability of, and adheres to, the RIPE Policies, the RIPE NCC procedural documents and the RIPE NCC LIR Account Agreement. The RIPE Policies and the RIPE NCC procedural documents are publicly available from the RIPE NCC
Document Store. The RIPE NCC LIR Account Agreement is publicly available on the RIPE NCC website. These documents, which may be revised and updated from time to time, form an integral part of and apply fully to the RIPE NCC Standard Service Agreement. Each
revised document will receive a new document number and can be found on

All the RIRs have similar terms to ensure policy compliance, otherwise, if they can’t be enforced, why we have policies at all?

In APNIC, LACNIC or AFRINIC, just to set an example, leasing of addresses (unless for “connected customers”) is not allowed.
If you do so, and the staff realize it, or somebody reports it to the staff, then you will get a warning, or a few of them across a certain period of time, you will get probably other policy-compliance reviewed, and then if you still not correct the situation,
there will be a reclamation process.
So are the other RIRs regulators, and not RIPE NCC? I don’t think so, and I really don’t care if we call it regulator or not, it is a matter of ensuring that the resources are provided under certain rules and in the end, we enforce them.

Jordi

Hi Serge,
The difference is the scope of the rules.
All organizations, including the RIPE NCC, enforce rules as part of their own business, for example with customers, etc.
What is being proposed here is imposing rules on unrelated things. Abuse isn't inherently of the resources provided by RIPE, but rather of the services addressed by them. It's like the postal service making rules on what you can do at your house because
it has an address assigned by them.
This is the difference between regulator or not. The definition I cited is from the dictionary.

Every organization has rules it enforces. That doesn't make it a
regulator. The public transport here, where I live enforces that you
have a valid ticket. That doesn't make it the transport regulator.
In fact RIPE NCC will probably enforce that you pay your fees.
The issue here is, that we have two subgroups:
One that thinks we should try go a bit further to ensure that people do
what can be expected they should be doing, and another fractions that
feels every little bit of additional load is too much and will not solve
the problem 100%. It's like saying we give up on speed limits because it
doesn't prevent speeding.
And as long as this group cannot come up with a compromise nothing will
change, in essence the anti-abuse wg is taken hostage by the nay sayers.
These discussions have been going on for years. Nothing new has come out.
We don't even try. We could, and then see if it makes a difference. If
not we go back. But nope.
