Certain network usage policies.

As a first approximation, RIPE NCC only executes the policies set by the RIPE community. Their function is mostly bureaucratic, so as an organization, RIPE NCC inevitably has a tendency to acquire additional responsibilities, diversify and grow. This is especially important because we're approaching the end of address scarcity. > On the 3rd hand, some people in the RIPE community (including me) > also feel that it is very, very difficult to define what the required > actions would be in the case of reported abuse.

Yes, that's certainly a problem. > Maybe it makes sense to make something like a web forum for each > allocated resource, or perhaps for the organization responsible for > each. We'd have to find someone host such a site in the U.S. because otherwise, the hoster will be responsible for such user-generated content. There are also privacy issues. Alternatively, with heavy moderation, the net result would not be that much different from Spamhaus' ROKSO list, would it?
