TTBOMK, as long as policy requirements are fulfilled
there is no mandate to revoke resources.
Even if a LIR is closed for being on an embargo list,
as happened recently, the resources were transferred to 
another, unaffected, LIR.

You are, of course free to initiate a policy proposal
to that effect. I don't think there is much political 
will in the community to give the NCC a mandate to 
police content, however.

I propose that the use of "terrorist" in any argument 
renders this argument invalid immediately. 
You may call it "Luck's Law" if it hasn't got a name 
yet...
