We do that already. We setup rules and enforce them in all the 5 RIRs.

Hi Leo,

The definition of a regulator is an entity that sets and enforces rules on the persons it supervises.

If the RIPE NCC goes further than just providing numbers, and instead enforces rules on usage associated with them (note that this doesn't even concern the use of the numbers themselves, but rather services addressed by them), it will, by definition, be a regulator.

I'm not sure that there will be consensus on wanting the NCC to become a regulator.

Hi Leo,

I don’t see it as a regulator, I see it as one of the functions of a RIR. Not just provide numbers, but also ensure that they are being used fairly and according community agreed policies. Otherwise we could also say that other reasons for recovery are invalid because we become a regulator, right?

Each RIR has measured the “level of adoption” as they progressed with the initial verification (and this was presented at least a couple of times in every RIR), so there are slides in each of them, showing the progress. I can try to find them for you in the previous year's events if you can’t find them. Also my personal experience reporting over 1.500 abuse cases, average per day, shows that I get more “happy-ending” responses from those regions than before and keeps going better and better, which is not the case from RIPE unfortunately.

Regards,
Jordi
