[address-policy-wg] Allocation transfer

Hi Dave!

PI is really usable on the practic! There is no problem with many ones I 
registered for my clients ;)

But I think your customers wants /19 is not for themselves exactly, but for 
their clients. Current policy restricts giving subnets greater than /29 to 
clients without registering it into RIPE DB (assigning own networks for them) 
with end user's information. So if do things right way, they need to become 
LIR immediately to assign networks to their users. Remember, LIR will got 
ALLOCATED (not ASSIGNED) /19. Formally, there is not them space, but reserved 
for their clients. So them really need own LIR right now, and may look up for 
somebody (may be me? - hehe ;) ) can outsource LIR services if it is too 
expensieve for them now.

If they are really end-users with a requirement of /19, you can ever assign 
them /19 or register /19 PI. PI is better because of there is no yearly 
payments for network ;)

Ofcourse, there is a way when you will directly assign address space for their 
customers, but it is a wrong way because after a time you completly shouldn't 
divide it onto two independent LIRs without full renumbering.

Other ways like got an PI /19 and giving space to users without any 
registering I do not say, because you are in UK, not in RU ;-)
