Cheerio AA-WG,
while we all are familiar with the joys of receiving spam on our whois-db contact mail addresses, this one below sets a new low. Unsolicited mail from another LIR to one of my whois-db contacts advertising IPv4 address space sale, underlining their legitimacy by bragging with their LIR status.
afaik there are currently no effective sanctions provided for such behaviour. I am a bit dumbfounded by the chutzpah they display and don't really know how to approach this. I'm sure that I am not the only one who has received one of these. How do we - as a community - want to handle cases like these?
- Michael

Hello, I received the same SPAM today, from the same person. Ironically this person is currently arguing to stop a proposal over in the address-policy WG that is trying to impede exactly this behaviour. As that person is a LIR/RIPE NCC member I think that this could be a breach of the RIPE NCC LIR terms and I would like the RIPE NCC to investigate this.
