Ok, so let me understand: Requiring resource holders to deal with criminals could lead to "unacceptable liability risks" But putting up with their crimes using RIPE infrastructure, including the millions of dollars worth of damage and financial consequences from spam, botnets, etc etc etc... is NOT an "unacceptable liability risk." --------- Original Message --------- Subject: [anti-abuse-wg] 2019-03 Policy Proposal Withdrawn (Resource Hijacking is a RIPE Policy Violation) From: 'Marco Schmidt' <mschmidt@ripe.net> Date: 10/2/19 11:09 pm To: anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net Dear colleagues, The policy proposal 2019-03, "Resource Hijacking is a RIPE Policy Violation" has been withdrawn. This proposal aimed to define that BGP hijacking is not accepted as normal practice within the RIPE NCC service region. The proposal is archived and can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/archived-policy-proposals/archive-... Reason for withdrawal: The proposers felt they were unable to address concerns that the policy would expose the RIPE NCC to unacceptable liability risks. These concerns were expressed by both the Executive Board and some community members. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Officer RIPE NCC
