Well, the "new document" draft very clearly states this:

----------- quote ----------
1.1 Scope

This policy document describes the contractual requirements for End
Users of provider independent resources which have been assigned
either directly by the RIPE NCC or through a Local Internet Registry
in the RIPE NCC Service area.
----------- quote ----------

As ERX space has not been assigned by the RIPE NCC or a RIPE LIR, it
is not covered by v3 of the 2007-01 proposal.

We will come up with a new proposal how to handle ERX space (which is
not yet written and thus cannot be discussed yet).


Regarding sub-assignments of ERX space: I'm not sure exactly how
the policy is right now, but since we're not going to touch ERX anyway, so
nothing would change there.

One of the incentives would be "without a clear contractual relationship,
we can't give out a certificate for this resource".

The main focus for the implementation is "new resource assignments", of
course, but for consistency reasons it's important to have a plan how
to tackle existing stuff.
