PDP Number: 2007-01 Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC Dear Colleagues, The draft documents for the proposal described in 2007-01 have been published. Please note that this is a new version of the proposal. The impact analysis that was conducted for this proposal has also been published. The proposal states that a contractual relationship between an End User and a sponsoring Local Internet Registry (LIR) or the RIPE NCC must be established before the End User receives Internet number resources (Autonomous System (AS) Numbers, Provider Independent (PI) IPv4 and IPv6 address space, Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and anycasting assignments) directly from the RIPE NCC. It also states that the text in the policy should mention more explicitly that PI assignments cannot be sub-assigned.
