To me, legal adress is just a way to be assured that the official request are sent to the correct place
At least in some jurisdictions, there would be issues about whether the legal address is the correct place. E.g. it might be a PO box which cannot receive certified delivery post for a summons, or the home address of a director. Or it might be that there is no "legal address" at all because the entity is an informally constituted organisation, or if it is legally constituted, it might not be on the local company registration facility for various reasons (e.g. instituted by act of parliament, etc). Or it could be a natural person. These are all situations which crop up regularly in the UK and Ireland. No doubt in the other 70+ countries in the RIPE NCC service region, there will be many other variations and complications. This is not an argument for or against the policy; merely an observation that this is a more subtle issue than the proposal admits. Nick
