[address-policy-wg] Block/Suspend sanctions on address space.

*Block/Suspend sanctions on address space.*


Based on events with Russian aggression on Ukrain.

Policy Proposal for discussion.

Update RIPE NCC policy in according to be able suspend management of
internet resource numbers in RIPE NCC database of the countries under
Sanctions in EU/US.


This is necessary for direct influence on the side subjected to sanctions.

This applies in particular to governmental and related organizations.

For these purposes, for example, government and related companies of the
state subject to sanctions are limited to control and access to Lirportal
and Maintainers, and forcefully remove all objects operating under the ASN
of these institutions. This will entail the impossibility of the state to
carry out activities related to the use of IT technology, the Internet, the
spread of propaganda and fakes, including (armies of bots from different
IPs, cyber attacks initiated by the state, and much more)

Since the RIPE NCC implements the decisions of the RIPE community, it is
proposed to introduce a change in the Ripe policy related to the
implementation of global and European sanctions.

This policy can only be applied to states under sanctions. These states
should not be able to obtain and use ASNs and IP addresses for government
purposes. Ripe sanctions should not apply to ordinary users, since the
total shutdown of all LIRs located inside the state under sanctions will
lead to the inevitable transition to an internal network controlled by
government services and deprive the population of communication with the
outside world and information.
