Whoops, sorry about that!

Beach-and-drink time was over a month ago!
 

tl;dr: don't support as-is, but could be convinced

I support the idea as it's a bugfix policy proposal, but the wording is
need to be improved.  At the moment, it ties the policy to the idea of the
RIPE NCC being the routing police.  Probably this isn't the intention.

I think you're right about that.
 

It may be better to consider alternative wording, e.g.

Even better, remove the requirement completely as it's pointless.

I'm not convinced that it's a pointless requirement, but I concur that the wording needs to be changed a bit before I feel comfortable with it.

As it is, however, I don't feel strongly either way about this part of the policy, but a clearer policy is something I'll support. :)
