If it is a new company and "not related" to the previous one, no way to verify the "cheating". If it is "subsidiary", the constitution document say it. Yes, it can be bypassed, but the staff can confirm if it is being done that way in most of the cases or if it is different business units or subsidiaries of the same "original" LIR.

So, instead of opening a new LIR under "SpaceNet AG", I register a new UK umbrella company under the name of "My New LIR Ltd". This one would then apply for a new RIPE membership. How do you know it's "SpaceNet AG" trying to sneak in and get more space? I've said that before: we've been there before - the "restrict multiple LIR accounts" approach leads to "those people that are in for the easy monay and do not care for anything else" will just register new companies with a new name for every new LIR. Nothing won, but database accuracy suffers, because you can't see the real owner anymore. Thus, having a checkbox on the application form might actually do more good - people will still cheat, but it won't harm the registry. Gert Doering -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
