Why? It's a general background comment, not part of the policy proposal. Why are you so fixated on this? The rules of the game are set by policy. Policy is set by the RIPE community. It only takes a handful of people saying yes and the rules are changed. Then ALL resource holders, LIRs, End Users MUST obey the new rules. If you persistently break the rules you can be closed down and have resources taken away. To me, that sounds like a definition of absolute authority. But let's get to the core of your issue here. Do you have a problem with limiting malicious abusive behaviour on the Internet? Or are you just arguing over any point to slow the process down and ultimately prevent any policy from addressing this problem? EVERY time we have looked at this issue over the last couple of decades, 'someone' creates background noise, finds problems, develops arguments against and ultimately prevents any action from being taken. A couple of people even said it in this thread. This WG has a reputation for not taking action. This has to change. That's why I'm suggesting a very simple policy. Here's a list of bad things. You must not do these. Do you have a problem with this? Cheers Denis > > Nick > >
