I would have a short question and a suggestion for clarification.
1. Is the last paragraph of 3.0 not superfluous in the light of the last paragraph of 5.0?
3.0: "LIRs should maintain DNS resource records for address space assigned to End Users from their own address space, even if the user obtains connectivity from a different LIR."
5.0: "LIRs should provide reverse delegation corresponding to an assignment during the complete validity period of the assignment."
Good point. We'll make the change. [...]
2. I think the intent of first paragraph of 3.0 is to accept a reverse delegation of an address block as soon as there is ANY address space assigned from it (i.e not ALL has to be assigned prior to reverse delegation), assuming that the whole block has been allocated to that LIR (this is relevant only for /16s). Therfore I suggest something like:
"The RIPE NCC accepts requests for reverse delegation solely for address space that HAD BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE REQUESTING LIR AND AT LEAST ONE PORTION OF WHICH has been registered by the LIR as assigned to End Users in the RIPE Whois Database."
(You will probably find a better word than "portion" to describe this).
Good point. We will incorporate a suitable change. Regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC, Registration Services Assistant Manager
