All, a bit unsure whether this belongs more to Address Policy or to Cooperation, I eventually opted for Coop WG. Maybe this WG, RIPE in general and/or the RIPE NCC would like to consider the following European Council conclusion: === The meeting statement noted as one of those medium term actions "to adopt a common approach in the fight against cybercrime internationally, particularly in relation to the revocation of Domain Names and IP addresses. The Commission, in cooperation with the Member States and Europol, is invited to facilitate this objective." === (quoted from "European Union Gets Serious on Cybercrime Including Right to Revoke Domains", http://domainnews.com/en/european-union-gets-serious-on-cybercrime-including... - the full EC doc is linked to at the end of the article) All the best, Carsten Schiefner
