[BULK] [address-policy-wg] 2007-01 Last Call for Comments (Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC)

I would like to see RIPE have some kind of fast-track implementation
of this policy for those end-user organizations who choose to apply
directly to RIPE for Internet Number resources.

In other words, rather than making everybody wait until all end-users
can be notified, etc., etc., if an organizations submits a request for
resources, then they will be dealt with first in the queue.

The policy impact statement refers to a one-time activity of
investigating
and making changes to all existing non-PA space assignments. While this
is
definitely a good thing to do, I would like to see it happen in parallel
to enabling new applicants to get resources under the new policy.

I understand that even with such new applicants, there will be an
inevitable
delay while RIPE works out details of the contracts, etc., but I am
asking
for this delay to be made as short as possible.

Thanks,

--Michael Dillon
