More or less I agree with the proposal. But what happens after a LIR is found to be violation of the policy? RIPE NCC puts out a statement "LIR X is in violation of Policy nnnn"? So what? How does this policy assist stopping the BGP hijack from taking place, even if it takes 1-2 months to handle the paperwork?
Well, that's a subtle twist of the proposal not actually spelled out - a LIR found to be in violation of RIPE policies is breaking their contract with the NCC (the SSA) and as such can be closed and their resources withdrawn.
So that's a fairly effective way to sanction abusive behaviour.
The amount of time that will transpire from the time of abuse and a LIR closed and their resources withdrawn can well be in excess of a year if not two years. Is that the end result we are looking for? -Hank
(I haven't decided whether I think this is going to work or do harm, so I'm not voicing support or opposition on the proposal itself)
