Inevitably followed by a multi-year, multi-instance lawsuit.
Assuming you have the wherewhithal to afford the law. 
We, in the RIPE NCC Service Region, have so far avoided this and
the relations between the NCC and the members have been mostly
congenial.
If the NCC gets turned into a drumhead court-martial, this will
change and I, for one, would not welcome this change.

Am I writing in Old Enochian that even the simplistic concept of
Service Regions is not understood? In the RIPE NCC Service
Region, the RIPE NCC is the only provider for internet resources.
Full Stop. An Alphabet Inc. or Facebook can get resources all
over the world. Joe Bloggs ISP Ltd can NOT.
