I personally have no position on this Richard Cox matter, because I have not been privvy to any of the interactions that led up to the current/ recent bruhaha, and also because my position, even if I had one, would be largely irrelevant to anything, because I neither own nor control any assets which fall within RIPE's jurisdiction (and thus I have no standing to have a position anyway). But I did feel compelled to make one brief comment about something my friend Suresh just said... In message <AANLkTimaLn=Uboczx-ZpbR7fJg4V=aHibxQvoH3eXFC8 at mail.gmail.com>, Suresh Ramasubramanian <ops.lists at gmail.com> wrote: >Second - the mantra, meme, fallacy etc of the "we are not the XYZ >police" that I keep hearing cited. It would be fun indeed if a bank >manager sanctioned a loan for say a quarter of a million dollars (lets >say comparable to an allocation for a /15) and then baldly state that >he's not the document police .. Suresh did not include any emoticon which would help to clarify what he actually intended here (ironic humor perhaps?), but I just wanted to clarify, in case anybody hasn't been paying attention for the past two years, that Suresh's analogy about irresponsible bank managers making quarter-million-dollar loans (AND paying little attention to the niceties of the corresponding real estate title documentation) has indeed been rife of late. http://www.helium.com/items/1989991-what-is-robo-signing-foreclosure-mortgage Anyway, (and perhaps this was the point that Suresh was attempting to make) I am persuaded that missing and/or incomplete documentation of the title to _Internet_ (IP) real estate is no more likely to produce acceptable results than those produced by a zillion missing (meatspace) real estate title documents.
