Hi, We spotted this, I'll have to check the exact wording we use, but I do recall asking to change this to something like : "The End User shall use the Independent Internet Number Resources assigned to it for internal purposes *announced from* its own network only." We did note however, 4.3(c) states: ". The End User shall use the assigned Independent Internet Number Resources solely for the purpose as specified in the request" If the request was to provide for a piece of PI that would be internet routed (I.e the language and detail in the request explained exactly what was being achieved), we observed that the use of 'solely' may produce a conflict.

While reviewing the suggested RIPE NCC End User Agreement located at: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/independent-resources /independent-assignment-request-and-maintenance-agreement-1 I see in section 4.3.a:
"The End User shall use the Independent Internet Number Resources assigned to it for internal purposes within its own network only."
Legal counsel has stated that based on the text provided, any IP address block or ASN assigned could only be used within a company/corporate/organization Intranet and publishing such resource on the global Internet would violate the End User Agreement.
Who has used this draft agreement and did you change the text? Strange that no one has spotted this before.
