i agree with suresh - ripe has been handing over /15 or even /13 lately to criminals who know how to use high bandwidth pipes to spam like crazy. I am not worried about a /24 given to bad guys - but in this world where ipv4 addresses are so scarce, handing over such huge range of addresses is not correct and it is common sense for everyone to understand this - how can somebody who did right paper work get /15 without proper justification ?

Due diligence to know your customer norms accepted in most if not all the service provider industry is not "internet policing" and I'm certainly not going to block a country at my border routers.
If the customer is not doing anything illegal, their papers are in order (contracts on paper arrive at the address given, and come back with a signature), and they are paying their fees, what else do you want to see for due diligence?
So what? Not accept customers/members because they don't wash, and smell bad?
I wonder when someone will show up and demands to reject LIRs that host content for adult entertainment... because that's illegal in some states in the world.
Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
