But: those netblocks have been given to the resource holders under the regulations of that time. Do you really want to change the regulations now, to take resources "back" ?
When the space is being demonstratably used for snowshoe spamming and/or for "blackhat SEO" purposes (which are also fundamentally anti-social), yes, I do.
Good. Now we know, that LIRs should only give resources away, when the usage is clearly defined and does not change, I like to ask: - is an LIR forced by any RFC or RIPE regulation to control the usage later on ? RIPE seems to only take care, that the address of an LIR is ok, its still the same company, the company exists and the resources are put into the RIPE db aso: - but does the RIPE NCC also checks the usage of all resources and if the LIR controls the usage of those resources during an audit process ? how can a LIR proove to the RIPE NCC that the initial purpose is still the same ? - can RIPE NCC force an LIR legally to withdraw a specific network not used for its initial purpose ? - and can RIPE NCC withdraw the complete allocation of this LIR if he does not ? Could someone please name the excact phrase of an RFC or other RIPE NCC document or contract. If there is none, should that not be our next proposal ?
