That may be true, but the validity of these requirements is actually laid
out through legislation. RIPE, however, is not a governmental body or
democratically legitimated (legitimation only by members doesn't really
count), so what we're debating here is the policy of an organization, not
a law.

In that case it is difficult to change a policy which previously held
unlimited validity. If there was however a clause defining that the
policy may be superseeded at any time, then it can be debated that it was
the responsibility of the sponsoring LIR to make corresponding contracts.

Kind regards,
