	Your reaction seems reasonable, but I'm only aware of your side of the
	story so far.

	I'm not certain that this can be dealt with by changing policy documents.

	The problem seems to be one of procedure, and to need to be escalated to
	someone at the RIPE NCC who has authority to make the call that this is
	(if so it be) a case where following the standard procedure is 
	inappropriate and to decide what is the right thing to do.

	I'm pretty sure that such a someone can be found at the RIPE NCC.

	If you've already sought to have the problem escalated to that level, and
	have been frustrated, it's probably the moment for your posting on this
	list.  Otherwise, I'ld see your posting as premature.

	I hope this helps
