Any broker that doesn't ACK the auto-email within 5 business days should be removed from the list. Regards, Hank
Dear RIPE NCC members,
The Executive Board has been following this discussion and we can see general agreement for a change in the way brokers are listed on the RIPE NCC's website.
The question is whether the RIPE NCC should remove the list entirely, or otherwise take steps to improve its approach. There are pros and cons with both options.
Removing the list is straightforward and would spare the RIPE NCC a few headaches. However, it is worth considering whether the current model provides some incentive for brokers to play by the rules and what might happen if this incentive is gone.
Conversely, it's clear that some brokers are still spamming RIPE Database contacts. Is this the only problem we are seeking to eliminate here, or are there others? Could an updated set of terms or a stricter approach by the RIPE NCC help to mitigate this?
Before the board makes its decision, we would like to hear your thoughts on this list.
Kind regards,
Christian Kaufmann RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman
