[anti-abuse-wg] 2019-03 New Policy Proposal (BGP Hijacking is a RIPE Policy Violation)

On Tue, 19 Mar 2019, Marco Schmidt wrote:

More or less I agree with the proposal.  But what happens after a LIR is 
found to be violation of the policy?  RIPE NCC puts out a statement "LIR X 
is in violation of Policy nnnn"?  So what?  How does this policy assist 
stopping the BGP hijack from taking place, even if it takes 1-2 months to 
handle the paperwork?
