[anti-abuse-wg] Spamming LIR accounts

Ah, let me be very clear here...

I was explicitly *not* saying that we shouldn't discuss such things on this list, with due care and attention. Apologies if it came across that way. I need to flag which hat I'm wearing better!

I was saying "thankfully, we have a process for this". In the early part of any such incident I would certainly not expect an immediate response from the NCC with anything more than process, albeit as a member I would hope for something more later, as we have seen from them before.

No.

I mean, yes, but I also think it is necessary to raise the concern
here, because either such spamming is allowed by RIPE policies (and
then every other candidate has their rights to do the same), or it is
forbidden (and thus one candidate has just obtained unfair advantage,
for which there should be consequences).

What does NCC have to say here?
