[members-discuss] Russian government blocked 2mln IPs at 16/04/2018

Hi,

> I'm absolutely agree with Jury, that RIPE should create special commission to prevent future blocking of huge part of the internet. They have blocked about 18 Millions of IPv4 for this day, I can't imagine, what will be after week or month, but it looks like Russians can lose an internet access and hurt global internet.

RIPE is a loose collection of people working together, and RIPE NCC is a registry. There is no leverage for enforcement here. The internet consists of networks and operators cooperating voluntarily. If some part of the world cuts itself off then nobody else can force them to communicate...

Cheers,
Sander
