Re: [members-discuss] Next RIPE members GM, in A'dam

To follow up the discussion started at the Ljubjana meeting about Legacy Resources registration in the RIPE DB, we (LR Holders) are asking forac an agenda slot (15-20 mn would be sufficient) to have a formal discussion on this topic based on a policy proposal we're working on.
What's the proposal? We have legacy and are happy with it just as it is. Actually I don't see why anyone needs to fiddle with v4 stuff (c.f. the pricing discussion). v4 is done, people should spend their time on v6, do somehting useful brandon

I got the impression that most legacy holders were happy because they got continued registry services at no cost to themselves. The RIPE NCC appears to have taken the position that as registry services cost money to handle, it would not be unfair to expect that they get some level of compensation from legacy holders: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/legacy-space Nick

Almost all legacy IP holders will agree with the above statement. We are not against paying our fair share. But how about a discussion? Listen to the different sides of the debate and then make a decision, rather than make unilateral decisions. -Hank

The legacy resource holders have had 10 years to put forward some policies about this - the ERX project was completed in 2002. On the other hand, the NCC's action was surprising, to say the least. I'm having a hard time trying to convince myself that this isn't a policy issue and that the NCC was actually entitled to do what they did without community consultation. Nick
