Oh, the RIR's went and got complete power? When did that happen?
Can they now stop hijacked ip space and announcements like in the case of:

"Subject:  Spectrum prefix hijacks"

AS      | BGP IPv4 Prefix     | AS Name
10512   | 102.196.0.0/16      | EFOREX-AS - E-FOREX, US
10512   | 103.119.0.0/16      | EFOREX-AS - E-FOREX, US

(forex seemed to have removed their previous other hijacked ip
announcements)
