[members-discuss] NCC acting on registrations pursuant to "police order"?

And in the RPKI context, it was said that there was no legal basis
whatsoever that such an order could be obtained *at all*.

I'm not sure this is a bad development.  It shows that existing laws and
RIPE policies allow government agencies and RIPE NCC to work together,
in order to make the Internet a safer place.  It is difficult for me to
see how we could address such situations without any government
interference whatsoever, merely through self-regulation, and still
maintain due process for those who are involved.
