This is not a change, this has been the case since we started charging an additional fee for Independent Resources. There is no per PI assignment fee if the sponsoring LIR lists the resource as not my end User anymore before the snapshot date.
I am not asking about the annual charge for independent resources but the fact that they are to be used to calculate the billing score for members. The 2011 billing scheme states: "To determine a billing category, a score is calculated based on Aggregatable Internet number resources made to a member over time." It specifically refers to PA resources, so including end-user Independent resources is a *fundamental* change. The annual charge, of course, applies *as well*, so these resources are charges, in fact, twice. I have already accepted that IRs assigned *to the LIR* should be included to prevent a LIR from using PI as "cheap PA", what I would like to know, still, is how including *end-user assigned* IR is justified. regards, Sascha Luck ---- If you don't want to receive emails from the RIPE NCC members-discuss mailing list, please log in to your LIR Portal account and go to the general page: https://lirportal.ripe.net/general/view Click on "Edit my LIR details", under "Subscribed Mailing Lists".
