I don't see where the proposed policy says that customers who received
pre-rir address space from you have to now fill in ripe-381 style forms.
Can you point me to the text?

What I'm proposing is that LIRs who hold pre-rir addresses simply
document the utilisation of those addresses, and at what level. If your
customer has received pre-RIR space from you, and they are announcing it
all to you, then I'd say it is reasonable to assume that they are using
it. If they are only announcing 50% of it, then it is reasonable to
assume that only 50% is being used. The other 50% could be used by other
customers of yours, or in your own infrastructure, etc.

The policy proposal requests LIRs who have address space that is not
used to indicate so when they apply for fresh space. In other words,
request LIRs to use unused space first before applying for fresh space.

Does this address your concerns?
