I agree that the carrot is better than the stick, but if the carrot doesn’t work, we need to use the stick.
My original proposal was basically enforcing the NCC to reclaim the resources when there is a persistent violation of resolving abuse cases. This can be progressive, such as not allowing to update objects in the database, etc. No need to go with “a single failure means you lose your resources”.
How could we do this without the RIPE NCC becoming some kind of regulator? Or is the proposal to make the RIPE NCC a private sector regulator?
As said, this is working in other 2 regions, one more coming (pending of the AFRINIC board ratification). Why should not work in this region the same? Also the PoC in ARIN works in a similar way, and being non-responsive means you get some “members” rights restricted.
Who has been measuring the reduction is abuse? How tightly is that drop in abuse linked to this policy action rather than other factors? Kind regards, Leo
