Hi Leo, I don’t see it as a regulator, I see it as one of the functions of a RIR. Not just provide numbers, but also ensure that they are being used fairly and according community agreed policies. Otherwise we could also say that other reasons for recovery are invalid because we become a regula

Hi Leo, The definition of a regulator is an entity that sets and enforces rules on the persons it supervises. If the RIPE NCC goes further than just providing numbers, and instead enforces rules on usage associated with them (note that this doesn't even concern the use of the numbers themselve

I do not agree Every organization has rules it enforces. That doesn't make it a regulator. The public transport here, where I live enforces that you have a valid ticket. That doesn't make it the transport regulator. In fact RIPE NCC will probably enforce that you pay your fees. The issue her

Hi Serge, The difference is the scope of the rules. All organizations, including the RIPE NCC, enforce rules as part of their own business, for example with customers, etc. What is being proposed here is imposing rules on unrelated things. Abuse isn't inherently of the resources provided by RI

Well, I can personally feel it when comparing abuse reporting in those regions (before and after the policy implementation) vs RIPE. That’s sufficient for me. I call it results. Also, when the LIRs don’t respond to abuse cases or abuse-c emails bounce, I can ask the relevant RIR to resolve it,

That would not make them regulators because those are rules on the addresses themselves, which are services provided by the RIR. Enforcing a certain type of abuse handling or prevention would be rules on the services addressed by the addresses, which are not part of the services provided by the

This is why we shouldn't have a policy like this. The existing policies are on the resources themselves and the services the NCC provides. If we create a policy that regulated services provided by RIPE NCC members, it will be binding, but that will then make the NCC a regulator. — Maria Merkel

As I said I disagree. Gmail says what you can do with their accounts, that doesn't make them a regulator. But it doesn't matter: At the end of the day it's excuses to not do anything about a growing problem. And what typically happens in such cases is that states get upset and start dictatin

I would never say you didn’t handle abuse reports. The question is whether that applies to each and every member in the ripe region. Even if a fraction of a percent of members or LIRs are affected by such a policy .. that is like saying there mustn’t be any speed limit because you are a careful
