As far as I know there is nothing in any policy about decommissioning resources. (I'm not even sure what that would mean in practice...)
I don't think that such a proposal would get consensus in the RIPE community, but I am often wrong so if you want this then please submit a policy proposal. The RIPE NCC staff, the working group chairs, or some friendly community member can help you with this.
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. Regards, rfg
