of course IP are not domain. i explain that is interesting to have the possiblity to have relationship with ripe when your are an internet ressource holder without to be be a LIR.
And to do that you will need to sign a contract with RIPE.
Important note: it is preferred that you have a contract with an LIR for your PI space. If you can't or won't do that, you can have a contract with RIPE NCC directly. The intention is to do as much as possible throught the existing LIR structure. Because it is provider independent, switching between LIRs is ofcourse not a problem. It is not the intention to force everyone to have a contract directly with the RIPE NCC. As Axel pointed out in the last RIPE meeting, this would lead to an unwanted situation. There is still freedom for the end user in choosing the LIR to do business with. Sander Steffann
