We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 17 May 2007.
After reading it for the 1st time, and not spending too much time on playing sandbox to understand (most of) the effects, I have one quick comment: "This proposal does not discuss any particular details of the contract that should be set up between the End User and the RIPE NCC." I cannot agree with that statement, because the overall terms and (financial) conditions of such a contract will (and should) have some influence on the future status of LIRs and the RIPE NCC. "The RIPE NCC Executive Board will decide on *the details* of this contract." [emphasis added by me] Indeed, but the general blueprint of such a contract needs to be discussed in the context of this proposal. Including the (potentially) voting rights associated with such a contract.

In general, I somewhat like the idea behind this proposal. Regards, Wilfried.
