Colleagues, The Co-Chairs would like to inform you that the proposers of 2019-03, Carlos Friacas and Jordi Palet Martinez have withdrawn the proposal. They felt that they were unable to create a policy text that addressed the concerns of the RIPE NCC Executive Board and part of the Community regarding possible liability risks to the Association. As the policy is withdrawn, this email is not an invitation to discuss this further. We suggest that can be done either in private email or in person, should the proposers welcome that. We would like to thank Carlos and Jordi for all their work on this proposal. We would also like to thank the WG for robust discussion and I would welcome proposals from all on ways to reduce abuse in the RIPE region. A formal notification of the withdrawal will come from the NCC Policy Officer, Marco Schmidt. Thank you, Brian Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG Brian Nisbet Service Operations Manager HEAnet CLG, Ireland's National Education and Research Network 1st Floor, 5 George's Dock, IFSC, Dublin D01 X8N7, Ireland +35316609040 brian.nisbet@heanet.ie www.heanet.ie Registered in Ireland, No. 275301.
