Fi Shing, There's no need to complain if you are unhappy with the current policies! The RIPE community follows an open and transparent process for making policies, which you can read about here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies Again, I encourage you to submit a policy proposal if you want your ideas to be adopted. Many people can and will help you with this. But also again, I do not think that any proposal to "decommission" resources will be accepted by the community. But if you think that is what should be done then you need a proposal with some details that you can attempt to get consensus for. Cheers, -- Shane On 12/03/2019 05.45, Fi Shing wrote:
Why can't it be both?
12.5% annual fee incurred daily, to a maximum of 7 days, with resources being decommissioned if the abuse contact is not updated within that time.

It might be interesting to float a proposal to tack on a small extra annual registration fee... say, another 12.5% or something... applicable to all respouces for which corrections to the contact info have not been made.
I agree that it would be politically problematic to outright kill someone's allocations, but making it just a little painful (if they are screwing up) might be helpful and productive.
