The every couple of months thing is the problem. I actually see no reason in asking again other than when the LIR gets ARC'ed. Having a fee would also had help prune off some of the dead ASNs.

In the internal processing side, will the RIPE NCC flag the ASNs that are justifiably not publicly visible. So that they don't get asked the same question every couple of months?

Well, if they keep being not publically visible, maybe they *should* be asked regularily if they are *still* in use? For the same reason we're asking today - setups have changed, people and companies cease to exist, stuff starts being no longer used. (I wouldn't ask "every couple of months", though, maybe "every few years" - but that's for the community to decide, in the end) Gert Doering         -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
