[members-discuss] [LIR] Re: Fwd: Re: RIPE DB T&C violation by brokers

Hi,

I would disagree that taking broker list down would make things better. Enforcement of contract terms, which was rarely done because of lack of streamlined process - is that too expensive?
Does RIPE NCC spend lot of effort doing it?
If we can have some online form “report broker malpractice”, wouldn’t that help?

I know what we would have soon: an increased address transfer activity with no way for community to verify whether the party is legit. If they are on the list that gives some assurance at least.

On the other hand we can always say that market for addresses transfers is not needed, because IPv4 is obsolete, and just move on. We can discuss it at NCC services session in Berlin as well as AP.

But I don’t think that taking list down would achieve anything positive at all. Brokers may self-regulate at some point and then that list would serve no purpose but for now it doesn’t harm anyone.

Disclamer: I had never participated in broker activity and have no need for more IPv4 addresses.
