PDP Number: 2007-01 Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC
Dear Colleagues,
The new version of the proposal described in 2007-01 has now been published and is moved back to Review Period.
Also, the new draft document "Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region" has been published.

I fully support the meaning of this proposal and think it is the right way to make sure that the RIPE DB reflects the real world. However, I think I noticed a small problem in http://ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/ripe-424-draft-2007-01-v3.html The new text in "9.0 PA vs. PI Address Space" states: |The policies stated above about the PI address space covers all non PA |address space maintained in the RIPE database, except address space |marked as Early Registration (ERX) and address space marked as NON-SET. This somewhat conflicts with: |1.1 Scope | |This document describes the policies for the responsible management of |globally unique IPv4 Internet address space in the RIPE NCC service |region. The policies documented here apply to all IPv4 address space |allocated and assigned by the RIPE NCC. Take 130.83.0.0/16 for example. It is "ASSIGNED PI" now, but it has never been assigned by the RIPE NCC (see RFC 1117, the assignment is first mentioned there). Of course this can easily be fixed, for example by changing the first sentence of the above quoted new text to: The policies stated above about the PI address space covers all non PA address space allocated or assigned by the RIPE NCC and maintained in the RIPE database, ...
