we noticed ripe bills as numbers in use by the LIR -themselves- as "Independant resources" rather than the points-based billing model..
surely this was not what the 2007-1 policy was intended to do?
i'd say AS numbers in use by the lir themselves fall under the normal points model still, just like PA ipv4 and ipv6 resources...
exactly what is so "independant" about our OWN AS number remains unclear to me.
scrape a few extra bucks for ripe.
RIPE billing department in the mean while claims that this is not an error...
Last year I've got such remark from RIPE:
If this AS number is in use by your LIR, you can select the option "My Infrastructure" in the interface provided in the LIR Portal: https://lirportal.ripe.net/lirportal/index.html LIR Portal -> Independent Resources
I hope this clarifies. Kind regards,

Have you marked your AS number such way? Eugene Grosbein
