[ncc-services-wg] State of sanctions

Hi All,

The various types of sanctions and or such limits that apply to the RIPE NCC’s services have been a recurring topic for a couple years now. Recently, this seems to pop up more often though. This isn’t surprising as sanctions have become a more popular tool in the last few years.

It occurred to me that we don’t seem to have a clear overview of what the total effect is:

- Which sanctions, imposed by whom, affect the RIPE NCC’s operations and services?
- Who are the targets of these sanctions?
- Which of the RIPE NCC’s services are affected by these sanctions, for whom and in which way?

(Please read “sanctions” with a wide definition and include such things as Dutch banks looking for money laundering that was mentioned during RIPE82)

If there is a detailed overview of all this available, could the RIPE NCC publish this periodically? If not, can they start doing so?

Best regards,

Alex Le Heux
