I think you have missed my point rather entirely, and also you may perhaps
be unaware of history. Governments and courts in specific countries and
jurisdictions may not always do things that the majority of us would think

"Kim Davies, ICANN's manager of route zone services, says ICANN isn't

So I ask again: Does the RIPE community REALLY want to give carte blanche to
every
little tin-pot small-time government official in *every* country of europe to do
perfectly stupid and harmful things, such as the thing that is documented in the
news story above?
Because that's what you are all doing right now. By failing to say, clearly,
that

allowing it.
