Not quite. I didn't say the NCC was being overly heavy-handed.

The policy did leave the NCC to work out the implementation detail.  
Which is usually fine. Nobody else really wants to get involved in  
that and sometimes implementation depends on internal procedures and  
operations at the NCC itself. So RIPE as a general rule would leave  
the NCC to get on with this and trust them to do the Right Thing. This  
is how it should be. And if things are not going right, there are  
feedback controls to deal with that.

Now if the implementation of this policy is causing problems, then  
there are existing mechanisms which can be used to address them. A  
quiet word with the CEO or a Board Member can usually help. [Axel, I  
don't want the NCC to have a copy of my passport: what's the story  
here?] If the difficulties are more complex and not easily rectified,  
then there are more formal mechanisms. Like proposing a new policy or  
changing an existing one.

I think we've thrashed this issue to death by now. So the next stage  
is finding out what the underlying problem is and what other  
implementation details can be used to deal with them. Over to you...
