[ripe-list] [diversity] Updated Draft RIPE Code of Conduct Published for Community Review

I don't think this is the case. What happens is that if nobody reports (or the LEA don't discover) that it was not reported by someone that had the knowledge of it, nothing is going to happen against the "lack of reporting".

As said, not being a lawyer, the right thing here is to ensure that it is verified by the legal counsel, as well as the complete CoC, to ensure that we aren't trying to enforce something that may create problems at some point.

    This is a myth.

    In modern legal systems the obligation to report crimes is very, very 
    limited. Typically one must only report crimes against human life and 
    similarly severe crimes. Very often this obligation is also limited to 
    the time when the crime can still be prevented. Often the obligation to 
    report can be met by informing the potential victim instead of law 
    enforcement.

    More general obligations to report crimes are one of the hallmarks of 
    totalitarian systems.

    Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and I do not play one on TV. I am not 
    familiar with every jurisdiction in this solar system. ;-)
