To address Nigels questions for a change: * Nigel Titley <exec-board@ripe.net> [2016-02-11 12:02]:
1. Is the activity of members opening additional LIR accounts a problem that must be prevented?
I see it that way. It is another attempt to game the run out fairly policy that is in place.
2. If this activity is a problem that must be prevented, what action should the RIPE NCC take to attempt its prevention?
Do not allow additional LIR accounts for a member. If a member tries to circumvent this in bad faith I would have no problem with the RIPE NCC holding the member accountable for violating the RIPE NCC Standard Service Agreement and proceed with the actions as stated in ripe-640 (Closure of Members, Deregistration of Internet Resources and Legacy Internet Resources). If the current SSA doesn't mandate such action I think that we should add it. Are there attemps right now to fool the RIPE NCC into opening additional accounts?
