RIPE is not a place to discuss this, as RIPE is all about resources
allocation and policies around that, not how resources are used.

IETF is not a place to discuss that, as if we understand what IETF
stands for - that's engineering body that makes protocols and standards,
not how resources are used.

So we need new institution for that, let's call it "Internet Routing
Police".

Should I start filling in the registration papers for new not-for-profit
institute with that name? :)
