Both the LIR option and the DAU option gives you certification for your legacy resources.
do you not read my messages, or do you just pretend to ignore them?
I do read them, but perhaps I have an idea where the confusion comes from... When I say «LIR option» above, I refer to the one specified in section 2.2 of ripe-605, where the legacy holder becomes a LIR and maintains direct control of his own legacy resources. This options has a total yearly cost of €1600, assuming the proposed 2015 charging scheme is accepted by the GM, and no sign-up fee. I am *not* talking about option in section 2.3, where the legacy holder would engage with a sponsoring LIR for €50/year. I assume that when you state that you «do not wish to be beholden to an LIR», you are not talking about *your own* LIR (in the context of option 2.1 or 2.2), but only an external sponsoring LIR (in the context of option 2.3). So assuming option 2.3 is out of the question, and that you do not currently have an LIR (making 2.1 out too), you're left with two options to get your legacy resources certified, as far as I can tell: Option 2.2) Become LIR - €1600 cost for year 1, extra services and resources provided in addition to the legacy stuff Option 2.4) Become DAU - €3600 cost for year 1, no extra services, strictly legacy-related services provided Who would go for option #2.4 and why? And if the answer is "no one", why do we need option #2.4? Tore
