Gert mentioned, '' NCC already does this - if a country is officially
sanctioned by the EU
(it can not opt to not-do this, anyway, if there is a legal requirement)''
Indeed, we can see in https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-776 ''As an
organisation based in the Netherlands, the RIPE NCC must comply with EU
sanctions. If we believe that a member or other resource holder is subject to
EU sanctions, we freeze their resources in the RIPE Database''
As several Russian LIR starting with Yandex (exemple) do have a clear, publicly
known, relationship / shareholders with sanctioned Russian individuals and
Russian entities, as a LIR member I do suggest that RIPE NCC hold a proper
emergency meeting on the matter.
The report is made quarterly.
There is now a situation of emergency that need a quick due diligence on the
application of the EU sanctions on the resources hold by the Russian entities
concerned by the EU sanctions, including transfer policy, access to RIPE
database and services, routing, RDNS etc etc. and hopefully with more impact
that the one mentioned in the last report.
We all see the important use of allocated resources for massive DoS and other
attacks, RIPE NCC shall support a clear limitation and use of the RIPE NCC
services and resources of the Russian, Byelorussian LIRs (that are directly or
indirectly , Byelorussian, Russian state owned or owned by listed sanctioned
individuals).
Side note: We all know now that EU banks will not allow the collection of the
2022 RIPE NCC fees from Russia, and invoices are due in a few days. That is a
good reason to freeze the resources a bit faster that usual. Taken into account
the number of LIR that could also impact the whole budget for 2022, and I'm not
sure the rest of the community will be happy to support...
Again, we need to see a quick reaction from RIPE NCC, within days, not on a
quarterly basis.
Thank you.

NCC already does this - if a country is officially sanctioned by the EU
(it can not opt to not-do this, anyway, if there is a legal requirement).
See here, for example, for the Q1 2022 sanctions transparency report:
