Dear Colleagues,
The text of the policy proposal 2009-08 has been revised based on the community feedback.
I am having two minor(?) problems with the current version, although I do support the idea in general: The "LIR" is a function or service within an organisation or service provider. The LIR assigns adresses from its allocation to "customers" and for use by the own infra-structure of the organisation or service provider. I think it does not do that "for itself"? Maybe this is nit-picking, but I am feeling uncomfortable. The use of the term "SHOULD" in a policy is not a good idea at all - ref.: "If an organisation already received a PI assignment before becoming an LIR," Either this has to be a MUST again, or left out from the policy altogether. Any suggestions we want to make could go to a BCP or whatever we think is appropriate. Wilfried.
