Just as Address Policy limits sub-assignments under contract, we have the absolute authority to limit malicious routing behaviors.
"absolute authority"? Ok so.
A reasonable and low-key start to this would be to formally declare "absolute authority" somewhere in the RIPE NCC Standard Service Agreement, and we can go from there.
You are assuming i meant the RIPE NCC has absolute authority. This is a self regulating industry where we make the rules based on consensus policy. Anyone can propose any change on any mailing list. If a hand full of people say yes, then the rules are changed and everyone must comply. So it's the RIPE community that has absolute authority over the rules. (For now...) Cheers Denis Nick
