It's the same as dispute resolution everywhere else: if there is an issue
which isn't resolved on the front desk, then you escalate.  The Arbitration
/ dispute resolution process is not as well known as it might be, but it
has existed for donkeys years:

It sounds like there may be scope for the IPRA team to educate PI holders
on their options, and this might be something that the RIPE NCC management
to think about.  This will end up being fairer for the PI holders, and will
also protect the RIPE NCC from allegations of unfair practice.  Phase three
of 2007-01 will produce difficult cases.

Could someone from the RIPE NCC comment on general procedures surrounding
what they might do in circumstances where there the holdership of the PI
resources is unclear?  And what the escalation options are?
