I support PI for IPv6 but I personally do not like the section:
"Expiry for Assignments:
I agree that putting in an expiry date for non-experimental allocations is a bad idea. The only time an expiry date makes sense is when the allocation is being used for some kind of network research on a temporary basis. RIPE has the opportunity to change its policies at any time and if it is necessary to claw back those allocations then it could be done by a future change of policy. The people who make that future policy will be better informed about the situation than we are because they will have factual data about PI allocations. We can only guess about what will happen. It is far better to make sure that all organizations who receive assignments or allocations direct from RIPE have some kind of contractual obligation to RIPE and that contract includes the obligation to maintain accurate contact information. It doesn't mean that they have to publish the information, just make sure RIPE knows when they move or get bought by someone else so that if the policy changes in the future, we know where to contact them. This way we avoid the swamp problem where nobody knows how to contact many of the orgs that received swamp allocations. They may still exist at new addresses with a new name but we have lost touch. --Michael Dillon
