[anti-abuse-wg] RIPE policy

If it was just spammers with large netblocks, great.  There is no
shortage of PI / PA netblocks which are used to host, for example,
malware c&c.

While what you say is more than probably correct, it is strange that
spammers seem to prefer the RIPE region, and working through some LIRs
in eastern europe, to acquiring large netblocks from any other RIR
region in the world.
