Dear Ronald,

Thank you for your mail.

To address your concerns, according to current address policy, the RIPE
NCC is responsible for the distribution of Internet resources within the
RIPE NCC Service Region. To comply with this requirement, the RIPE NCC
does not deny the distribution of Internet resources to organisations
outside the RIPE NCC Service Region, as long as those resources will be
used within the RIPE NCC Service Region.

Activities such as responding to complaints about spam are not covered by
RIPE policy and are currently not in the scope of the RIPE NCC.

With regards to the hijacking of Internet number resources, I can assure
you that we investigate all reports of hijacking of resources which are
under the management of the RIPE NCC, as this is against RIPE policy. If
the resources are found to be hijacked, the RIPE NCC will reclaim them.
Any reports of suspected hijacking can be made to <ncc@ripe.net>.

Best Regards,

Laura Cobley
RIPE NCC Customer Services Manager
