Andrea, all - full ACK to both: * Allow status change from LIRs' PI assignments to PA allocations and to Tore's point: * Omission of the minimum allocation size constraint Cheers, -C. On 20.06.2013 10:20, Tore Anderson wrote:

A. Allow LIRs to change the status of their PI assignments to PA allocations (if equal or larger than the minimum allocation size)
This.
I cannot see how denying such requests could possibly be to the benefit of the community. On the other hand I can clearly see that denying them would be detrimental by making the NCC appear rigid, inflexible, and customer-unfriendly; and likely also running counter to the policy's Registration goal, as some of the LIRs that got such conversion requests refused would likely go ahead and use the addresses as if they were labeled PA anyway.
There is some related precedent, cf. section 5.4 regarding conversion from ALLOCATED PI and ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED to ALLOCATED PA.
Personally, I'd even take it one step further and omit the minimum allocation size constraint too. I consider the minimum allocation size a policy mechanism that is only there to serve the Aggregation goal. However, as these delegations are already made, merely relabeling them does not make any difference when it comes to aggregation.
Besides, it is some precedent here too afaict:
