No.

They sign a contract that they will follow RIPE policies when signing
up to be NCC members.

Whether this has a solid legal basis if the policies should change to 
be incompatible with normal business operations, or would impose huge extra 
costs after the fact, is a question for the lawyers to sort out.


Which is, sort of, the reason why people are trying to twist policy in a
way that it can be used as a stick to beat RIPE member organizations if
they do not behave in a way that corresponds with these people's idea of
"not abusive", while no community has ever been able to come up with a
conclusive decision on what considers "abuse"...
