Discussion should be about, if we want to / should remove such *obstacle*. I would personally prefer that policy about PI space would stay the same. Just RIPE NCC should be more investigative and restrictive when assigning those. >> I'm not competent enough to tell if it is better to have the same >> contract with members and non-members, maybe someone from RIPE NCC can >> answer that. > >> I think that they should be isolated because they should be used for >> different things.

Specially for the NCC is much simpler. Easy as a flat rate for every LIR. Actually this is the main problem problem for me. LIR should by the name work as local internet registry. This has been broken for IPv4 by IPv4 shortage. Not everyone should be forced to be a RIPE NCC member. I'm perfectly fine with 50 EUR fee for every /48 for those. Such organization which needs PI have no plans for assigning addresses to third parties, so why they should be LIR when they don't plan to act as one? This would make IPv6 addresses less accessible. It is like LIR saying: "Do you want to have your own addresses or more then I gave you? Go to the RIPE NCC and pay them 1400 EUR/y! No matter what you do...". Those PI users would either loose protection of their own space or they would had to pay 28x more per year plus 2000 EUR sign up fee. What would do company outside of the internet business? They would not implement IPv6, that is easy! :-) >> In my opinion PI should still be here, but only for a special cases, >> non-ISP non-LIR organizations.

It just allows you to use your PI range on your premise and give access to such network to the third party.

Actually I don't think so. I still thinks that PI should stay PI, but it should be checked more thoroughly to whom it is given. >> Sincerely, >> Martin > > Dne středa 16. května 2018 16:10:13 CEST, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ via > address-policy-wg napsal(a): > > Hi Martin, > > > > I'm clear about the IPv4 situation.
