It can be easily amended to specifically mention the CoC when we get to that point. I would still see a need to tie the people saying someone has breeched the T&C's and this is their penalty to the "RIPE NCC". It could be just saying that the organisers are acting on behalf of the RIPE NCC. Mark. PS I was an organiser at AusNOG and some of the board took the "nuclear" CoC option and went to a lawyer to craft one. I didn't agree with that approach but the concern was ensuing the legal position was strong.
