violation of DB T&C by DB-WG co-chair, is it acceptable?

Dear RIPE NCC,

can you please present a report showing how many LIRs have reported RIPE 
DB T&C violations? How many were resolved and what was the outcome?

- Specifically, how many times has the RIPE NCC taken any action other 
than a warning message.

Dear DB-WG, should we accept that one of the chairs of this WG is 
purposely violating the T&Cs of the RIPE DB?

Please see below one of the e-mails received from David, the RIPE DB-WG 
co-chair, by a RIPE NCC member named /<company>/.

(I'd like to mention that /<company>/ has never had a business 
relationship with Larus Cloud Service Limited, has never subscribed to 
any mailing list and has never requested the message below - which I 
find to be spam as it was never solicited).

regards,

elvis

Subject: Unused IPv4 space of /<company>/

Dear Colleagues,

We are contacting you regarding potential unused IPv4 address currently 
registered to your organisation /<company>/.

Organisations like yours have in the past received address IPv4 space, 
it sometimes remains unused after changes to networks. Based on the 
available information it appears that your organisation is currently 
holding IPv4 space that appears unused or underutilised.

We would like to offer you the possibility to capitalise on these 
addresses, we can assist you in either finding organisation to 
permanently transfer (sell) towards, or assist you in finding and 
forging long term relationships with some of our clients by leasing the 
unused space to them, generating a long-term income. We are a company 
based in Hong Kong, our CEO Heng Lu, has over ten years’ experience in 
managing Internet resources across the globe. Our IP manager David 
Hilario previously worked for the RIPE NCC one of the five RIR and as 
such has an intricate knowledge of the policies in the RIR policies 
especially when it comes to transfers and leasing the address space.

We have clients lined up waiting for permanent transfers or long-term 
lease, so we can fulfil any of your requirements.

We offer clients with available IP space a 3 months exclusivity 
contract. based on your requirements, we will match our waiting list 
clients with your criteria so that your IP space can be capitalise as 
soon as possible at the best possible rate. Please note that if you are 
leasing out your address space, we will offer it on a minimum of yearly 
basis with advance payment from our clients.

Please find attached to this email our NDA to be filled in from your 
side and returned to us before we can proceed any further in our 
cooperation in regard to these transfers or long-term lease. We can 
lease and sell IP space to and from ARIN (North America) APNIC (Asia 
Pacific) and RIPE NCC (Europe, Middle East and parts of Central Asia).

Kind Regards,
David Hilario
