One of my colleagues recently received the following in reply to a 141: "If your customer still uses HTTP/1.0, we need a confirmation that he will return the addresses whenever a new policy set by the the LIR-working group requires so." Now this is often discussed, I know. The rightness of using HTTP/1.1 cannot be doubted. However this wording is awful, because it sounds like the RIPE NCC is dictating. In fact in this instance I was asked about the legal possibilities of what they saw as a "restraint of trade". Clearly, if clients respond like that, a better wording is required. Is the NCC considering it? Or should this list aim to standardise it?
