Well, that's a subtle twist of the proposal not actually spelled out - a
LIR found to be in violation of RIPE policies is breaking their contract
with the NCC (the SSA) and as such can be closed and their resources
withdrawn.

So that's a fairly effective way to sanction abusive behaviour.

(I haven't decided whether I think this is going to work or do harm, so
I'm not voicing support or opposition on the proposal itself)
