[members-discuss] audit idea .... improve database quality

Hi Matthias,

Please be reminded that RIPE NCC has, AFAIK, no authoritative power to
enforce cutted-down assignments. therefore, unless a memeber is (how ?)
destituted from its LIR status, there's no proper way to reclaim its
(wasted ?) adressing space.

Hence I see no reason to use the "audit menace", but let's consider it
has authoritative powers, as it should, let's go for it.

I really think we sould not enforce a rule-based policy here. We all
have different networks and customer-base, no one should be constrained
to universal rules because… well, everything depends on context…

So let's be fair about destitution and reclaiming ressources : it only
can be a community decision, like everything should, but only approved
by this community's members whou already got their arses cleansed and
approved, and only by the community itself.

Suche process woudl take a great amount of time, to go through every
stratum-1 clean-arses LIR, promptly asking to be thoroughly checked out
(yeah, some of you might like that), to be allowed to give advices and
notation to other members.

Now, let's consider we're not even, and some of your competitors might
have cleaner arses than you have. How would you react ? Would they
express a fair judgment as peers and co-members ? Or sake you for beeing
such a cunny opponent on their domestic market ? Yu'll never know where
the blame came from, anyhow.

So let's be realistic : we have no way to know for sure a LIR is doing
its job well, sparing ressources and helping the community to welcome
new inovative members.

So please, spare us useless debate, and plesae focus on what's doable.
What can we check, what should we condomne, as a community ?

Best regards,
