PDP Number: 2007-01 Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC Dear Colleagues A new RIPE Policy Proposal has been made and is now available for discussion. This proposal states that a contractual relationship between an End User and the RIPE NCC must be established before the End User receives Internet number resources (Autonomous System (AS) Number, Provider Independent (PI) IPv4 and IPv6 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 can't be sub-assigned. You can find the full proposal at: http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2007-01.html We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 17 May 2007. Regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE NCC Policy Development Officer
