I can speak to this from personal experience.
When I worked for BT, a misguided salesdroid mined the RIPE DB and used
it to send spam to possible customers. When I found out I arranged for
the salesdroid to be suitably formally warned, extracted an apology from
them and passed the apologies of the company to the RIPE NCC and the
community. At the time I was a co-chair of the DB WG.
I would expect any member of the community (not just a WG chair) to do
likewise.
