Hi Matthias, Please be reminded that RIPE NCC has, AFAIK, no authoritative power to enforce cutted-down assignments. therefore, unless a memeber is (how ?) destituted from its LIR status, there's no proper way to reclaim its (wasted ?) adressing space. Hence I see no reason to use the "audit menace", but let's consider it has authoritative powers, as it should, let's go for it. I really think we sould not enforce a rule-based policy here. We all have different networks and customer-base, no one should be constrained to universal rules because… well, everything depends on context… So let's be fair about destitution and reclaiming ressources : it only can be a community decision, like everything should, but only approved by this community's members whou already got their arses cleansed and approved, and only by the community itself. Suche process woudl take a great amount of time, to go through every stratum-1 clean-arses LIR, promptly asking to be thoroughly checked out (yeah, some of you might like that), to be allowed to give advices and notation to other members. Now, let's consider we're not even, and some of your competitors might have cleaner arses than you have. How would you react ? Would they express a fair judgment as peers and co-members ? Or sake you for beeing such a cunny opponent on their domestic market ? Yu'll never know where the blame came from, anyhow. So let's be realistic : we have no way to know for sure a LIR is doing its job well, sparing ressources and helping the community to welcome new inovative members. So please, spare us useless debate, and plesae focus on what's doable. What can we check, what should we condomne, as a community ? Best regards, -- Jérôme Nicolle +33 6 19 31 27 14
