Registration of PI space by a sponsoring LIR is an administrative task and doesn't have anything to do with abuse management.
This proposal is not about abuse management. It's about ensuring that the same standards of openness which apply to everything else in the RIPE database are also applied to PI resources. Registration openness and transparency are fundamental to the RIPE database, and the RIPE database is the core function of the RIPE NCC. These principals are why we have a RIPE database in the first place. If you disagree with this proposal, you should probably submit an alternative policy proposal to close off public access to the RIPE database and turn it into a private internal database, accessible only by the RIPE NCC. I don't know what this would achieve, but I don't think it would be a good thing. Nick
