I don't see any reference to Early Registration Transfer project objects. Are PIs that were involved in ERX considered "orphaned" by default?
In the version of 2007-01 that was eventually approved, resources that were not allocated by the RIPE NCC (i.e. pre-date the RIRs) are expressly excluded and not subject to the fees. "This proposal does not cover number resources marked in the RIPE database as Early Registration (ERX) or NOT-SET. It also does not cover number resources listed in the RIPE database which were assigned by InterNIC or assigned or allocated by other Regional Internet Registries." We have had a couple of interesting discussions with the hostmasters as this information was filtered through. :) Rob -- JANET(UK) is a trading name of The JNT Association, a company limited by guarantee which is registered in England under No. 2881024 and whose Registered Office is at Lumen House, Library Avenue, Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, Didcot, Oxfordshire.
