In that case it is difficult to change a policy which previously held unlimited validity. If there was however a clause defining that the policy may be superseeded at any time, then it can be debated that it was the responsibility of the sponsoring LIR to make corresponding contracts.
Can you point out to me, where it said unlimited ?
it doesnt but the PI requlations do specify that the -use- has to remain in accordance with the orignal reasons for which it was requested. which basically boils down to: ripe can only remove such allocations if they are no longer in use for their original purpose, they cannot try to fork money out of existing PI/AS users, or their LIRs, so yes, as long as the original request criteria are met, they are -forever- (before we registered our first PI block I even called and asked them if PROVIDER INDEPENDANT space would not cause recurring fees for us, and they said no. (besides the showing up in the billing score for a short time, which ofcourse is calculated into our one-time administration fee.)
