[address-policy-wg] [ncc-services-wg] Crimea papers

No-no. It is NOT "...independent of which country Crimea belongs to".
It is VERY important: Crimea belongs to Ukraine. And Dutch authorities 
recognize Crimea as Ukraine land.
Dutch authorities said about it on the hoghest level: in the United 
Nations Security Council.
So, there are no variants for Dutch government, but only one: Crimea is 
Ukraine. Dot.

I think RIPE MUST NOT accept Russian issued papers for Ukraine based 
companies.
Otherwise RIPE should start accept any country issued papers for any 
entities.
For example: Ukrainian based companies with Panama issued papers.
