[anti-abuse-wg] Re: Policy disallowing spam from RIPE blocks, was Use of RIPE region space by out-of-region users

Shane, nobody at all said what you're saying.  Not even RFG, funnily enough.

And if you want policy proposals, please do let me know what you think
about some concrete proposals that have emerged from all this argument
and ad hominem

1. Closing the allocation window / giving LIRs less leeway in
approvals [so there should be no difference in submitting a request
through a LIR, or through the RIR]

2. Increasing accuracy in whois (including the descr: field) <- note,
I am not saying "structure to a freeform field", just seeing that it
matches the justification paperwork and its use

and maybe a third -

3. Maybe some way to weed out bogus LIRs, tighten the process of new
LIR creation [or simply get rid of the entire LIR concept?]
