IP addresses for the RIPE NCC

Dear working Group, Now that we have a new interim policy in place, an important policy question comes up: How can the RIPE NCC get IP addresses for their services ? Either they qualify trough the Interim policy or they need to go to their upstream. Trouble is that as far as I know the RIPE NCC has no upstream provider, as they are multihomed to a substantial number of subscribers. What is the workinggroup opinion on this ? Regards, -hph
