No.  In principle, the proposal is completely broken, antithetical to 
the RIPE NCC's obligations of being an address registry and Randy was 
right to point out that it is a proposal for a kangaroo court.  We don't 
need to make the mistake of testing it out to make sure.

It will not have any material impact on hijacking; there are better ways 
of handling hijacking and the proposal will have a wide variety of 
serious but unintended side effects, some of which have been raised on 
this mailing list.  And it's unimplementable - the board of the RIPE NCC 
would have a fiduciary duty to refuse to implement it.
