[anti-abuse-wg] 2019-03 Policy Proposal Withdrawn (Resource Hijacking is a RIPE Policy Violation)

Ok, so let me understand:
 
Requiring resource holders to deal with criminals could lead to "unacceptable liability risks"
 
But putting up with their crimes using RIPE infrastructure, including the millions of dollars worth of damage and financial consequences from spam, botnets, etc etc etc... is NOT an "unacceptable liability risk."

Dear colleagues,
 
 The policy proposal 2019-03, "Resource Hijacking is a RIPE Policy 
 Violation" has been withdrawn.
 
 This proposal aimed to define that BGP hijacking is not accepted as 
 normal practice within the RIPE NCC service region.
 
 The proposal is archived and can be found at:
 https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/archived-policy-proposals/archive-policy-proposals/
 
 Reason for withdrawal:
 The proposers felt they were unable to address concerns that the policy 
 would expose the RIPE NCC to unacceptable liability risks. These 
 concerns were expressed by both the Executive Board and some community 
 members.
 
 Kind regards,
 
 Marco Schmidt
 Policy Officer
 RIPE NCC
