[address-policy-wg] [ncc-services-wg] Crimea papers

Dmitriy, all,


as has been stated repeatedly, this is not the place for this discussion.

The initial question was "will RIPE NCC hand resources to a LIR in
Crimea, based on Russian papers" and the clear answer is "if said
papers establish the existence of the LIR and substantiate the LIR's
claims, yes".


I am sure many people hold strong opinions on the topic of Crimea, but
neither RIPE NCC nor RIPE community is the place to discuss this
topic. Does this, and other, situations suck? Yes. Can RIPE NCC do
anything about it? No.


As Gert pointed out, what you seem to be arguing for is basically a
punishment for any Crimean LIRs for being located in a region of
conflict. What would that achieve? About as much as the current
discussion.

PS: There have been and are other conflict regions within RIPE region;
those are not punished for being in the wrong place, either.

PPS: You are free to try and submit a PDP and/or bring the topic up at
a RIPE meeting, but don't expect consensus.
