-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Hank, The main focus points of Phase 2 of this policy implementation are to ensure there is a contract in place between End Users and their sponsoring LIR, and allowing LIRs to exclude from their 2010 billing fee independent Internet number resources linked to End Users that are not customers of the LIR. As you mention, resources of End Users who do not have a contract in place with an LIR or with the RIPE NCC by 31 December 2009 will be considered "orphaned". The RIPE NCC will start contacting the End Users of those independent Internet number resources in 2010 (Phase 3 of the policy implementation), asking them to sign a contract either with a sponsoring LIR or with the RIPE NCC. The exact timeline will depend on the number of "orphaned" resources. We are currently preparing different scenarios based on current statistics. A procedure for "orphaned" End User resources with regards to timelines and (de-)registration details will be published in advance. If you have any further feedback or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Andrea Cima RIPE NCC Hank Nussbacher wrote:

Can someone point me to the docs in regards to what happens to resources a LIR marks as "not my customer"? According to http://www.ripe.net/rs/pi-existing-assignments.html on Dec 31, 2009 RIPE will consider those resources as orphans and contact the end users. What happens then? How long does the end user have to sign on with RIPE? At what point will RIPE revoke the allocations? Is there a doc on that entire procedure and timeline we can give customers?

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC has formulated a Draft Charging Scheme 2010 that will take into account the requirements of policy proposal 2007-01, "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC", and the discussions that took place at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in May 2009 regarding the 2010 Charging Scheme.

The proposed Draft Charging Scheme 2010 is now available to view at: http://www.ripe.net/membership/billing/draft-charging-scheme-2010.html

Membership discussion of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 proposal can take place at <members-discuss@ripe.net>.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board will monitor discussion and input from the RIPE NCC membership before publishing a final version of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 by 9 September 2009. The RIPE NCC membership will vote on this version at the RIPE NCC General Meeting on 7 October 2009.

The RIPE NCC notes that this proposal for the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 is subject to change based on advice from the RIPE NCC's lawyers on tax and legal issues.

For more information, please see the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 FAQs: http://www.ripe.net/info/faq/membership/charging-scheme.html

Best regards,

Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
