Hello Elvis, > Therefore, I think that the RIPE NCC should talk to every single company > holding a PI assignment from an ALLOCATED PI/UNSPECIFIED block and give > them the option to give up on the maintenance of the IPs (and the right > to transfer/sell) and transform them into ASSIGNED PA, or become a PI > user - like all the others in the world - and sign a maintenance > agreement with a LIR (and have the €50/year associated cost).
The message Ingrid sent on the 4th of August already stated: "The WG agreed that, where the LIR can document a mutual agreement that they administer the address space, a conversion from PI to PA should take place. In all other cases, assignments with the status ASSIGNED PI should be treated as being assigned by the RIPE NCC." So no need to talk to each and every resource holder. The responsibility is with the LIR to show documentation, and the default is to convert the assignment to normal PI. And that is as far as we need to go here. The rest are implementation details and should be left to the RIPE NCC. Let's not micro-manage who exactly they should talk to. So to summarise: I think what you want is already part of what the RIPE NCC proposed, modulo implementation details. So the previous message holds: RIPE NCC, please move ahead. Cheers, Sander
