I fully support the 2019-03 proposal. Even if the final decision is in the
sense that  "RIPE is not the Internet Police", nothing should prevent RIPE
of being a reliable source of verified information on fully confirmed
proofs about entities incurring in BGP hijacking practices. Also, nothing
prevents RIPE of recommending the consultation of certified and justified
reputation information whenever people engage in business relationships
with new "unknown entities". In my opinion, RIPE could be the support
organisation of that repository. Just my two cents ...

All the best,
José L.M.
