Well, my point was not quite one of those you present, it was
more along the lines:

Wouldn't it be a more profitable use of RIPEs funds to visit the
provably needy LIRs ?

even at a 50/50 funding split, this is going to drain a lot of
resources from RIPE, so we might as well try to get some
tangible benefits from it.

Of course we could also try to add a new policy which says that
if a LIR after three warnings from RIPE havn't gotten their
act together they get a RIPE visit, and the full bill for
that visit (the "RIPE-MIB": RIPE-Men In Black :-)
