Can you please explain why you are concerned about contractual obligations?

The current system is slightly ambiguous and it could be argued that this
places registrants in a risky situation. The RIPE NCC could act
capriciously, or make a mistake, and revoke an assignment. The (now ex)
registrant would be at a disadvantage when they sought redress.

I personally think the scenario described above is very unlikely but
nonetheless, it is a possibility.

In my opinion, introducing contracts is as much about protecting the
registrant as it is about protecting the RIPE NCC and the community of
network operators.
