The root problem is that the policy proposes to use the RIPE NCC to
enforce abuse management processes.
The specifics in this iteration of the document are to threaten and then
act to deregister an organisation's number resources - and thereby
remove their ability to conduct business - if the organisation declines
to handle abuse complaints over email.
To be clear, it's a fundamental right in large chunks of the RIPE
service region to conduct business. If the RIPE NCC acts to threaten to
remove this ability to conduct business, there would need to be sound
legal justification for doing so.
