Strong ACK. Unfortunately, as far as I can see, NCC doesn't trust the RIPE membership to vouch for their customer's identities. And as far as I'm being told, there are a good number of examples that actually fuel NCC's distrust. Nevertheless, I think the current Due Dilligence process is far overreaching.
I agree with the NCC in regards of "not trusting an LIR".
Several NCC folks have told me that one of the things that you learn in the "welcome as an NCC employee" introduction is that the RIPE NCC is indeed an organisation based on trust in its membership and the community it serves. Which is a Good Thing; if it did not I do not quite see how it could justify its very existence. That said, I believe that if you truly do prefer to be a member of an RIR that doesn't trust you, more suitable alternatives than the NCC exist.
