The questions stand. I am curious to see what the rest of the wg members think.

While there are many examples where spammers uses RIPE DB, more specifically when it comes to "IPv4 reselling market", I think that it is unacceptable to tolerate such a behavior from a chair (and/or from anyone from his company). A (co-)chair should fight against such practices, especially from his or her co-workers. DB is not meant for a marketing and advertising usage. And if any company is caught the hand in the honey pot, it should be publicly shamed/unsubscribed/banned from reading DB contact infos/whatever. -- Clément Cavadore
