Jordi,

“All the involved resource-holders should lose their rights”

This assumes that the resource-holders who have legitimate rights to the IP space had any awareness of the transfers – which in this case is not reality – the transfers were illegitimate the IP space was stolen from the resource holders. So – what you are proposing is to penalize those who had resources stolen from them without their consent or knowledge.

I point out that it has already been public acknowledgement over the fact that there are criminal proceedings on going against a former member of staff who was allegedly involved in the theft of these resources – please – lets not fan the flames by making inflammatory suggestions that don’t take into account all of the facts as currently known.

I've some points here:

1) Were those transfers done following the Intra-RIR policy? Or it happened before that policy existed?
2) Were those transfers inter-RIR?
3) In any case, were those transfers authorized by the staff (according to the CPM)?

If any of those questions indicate that the CPM has not been followed, all those resources should be claimed back and the involved resource-holders should lose their rights and the membership account closed, right?

Jordi
