The RIPE NCC is the secretariat of the RIPE Community and is delegated
the task of implementing and enforcing the RIPE Community policies, as
well as to providing training to the LIRs on how to operationalise said
policies. If that is not an authority worth paying attention to, I do
not know what is.
After all, any LIR which prefers the RIPE NCC interpretation of the
policy in this regard is may simply adhere to it and act accordingly,
and this is commonly done today. Thus the RIPE NCC's interpretation of
the policy – mistaken or not – ends up becoming the (de facto) way the
policy is implemented anyway.
