I can only commend LACNIC for doing the right thing and serving as a clearing house for such community outreach.

Route hijacks that cause major operational impact are certainly something that impacts the community as a whole, and while this is resolvable by operators, quite often finding the right individual who can get something fixed is a challenge.

Having an RIR – as a common service provider to a large community – additionally serve as an impartial clearinghouse to help reach out to the right people does not strike me as a bad thing or “internet police”.
