that administrative authority exists, is also not a "discussion" thing, it is a "it already exists" thing. 

in fact, even on this mailing list (also a resource), there exists rules and there exists administrative authority to remove people from
this list.

and, people are indeed blocked/banned/removed from this mailing list.

So, just to be quite clear: Administrative authority exists and is used regularly and applied to all sorts of resources, all the time.

Also, imo, the boundaries of administrative authority as it applies to RIPE is also more of a "legal" thing than a "discussion" thing.
