Re: [ncc-announce] 2007-01 Implementation: Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC
by Andrea Cima 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Dear Ahmed, Thank you for your email. The points that you have raised are not the result of this policy change, but are already part of the current policy. Ahmed Abdulraheem wrote: > Hello, > I am still not understanding about some terms in the Policy requirements > such as: > > - End User must specify and establish need for a Provider Independent (PI) > assignment. > > All users must justify their need for the Internet number resources they request. The RIPE NCC's evaluation of this need is based on the RIPE policy document related to the specific kind of number resource in question. Please find the Address Policy and Address Management related documents online at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/index.html > - End User must provide up-to-date registration information to the LIR; > some or all data will be published in the RIPE Database. > > Contact information for all assignments and allocations is published in the RIPE Database. The LIR gathers this information from the end-user and enters it into the request form and/or the RIPE Database. > - End User may not sub-assign resources to third parties. > > An assignment is considered to be the final step in the allocation/assignment chain. If an organisation wants to make assignments to its customers, that organisation must obtain a (sub-) allocation. There can be no assignments registered within other assignments, they can only be registered within allocations. Please see further details about this at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-441.html If you have any further questions, please contact me.
