[address-policy-wg] Discrepancy Between RIPE Policies on IPv4 and IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Address Space

Hi Sander,

> What would then be the difference between PI and PA addresses? Do you think we should get rid of that distinction completely, or is this not what you mean? I heard people talk about the distinction here at the RIPE meeting in Prague, so it seems to be a topic of discussion.

No hard need for an AS number, no right to vote, no need to make
payments for resources to RIPE directly, others I am possibly not
thinking of, right now.

Still, you raise a very important point and I am not sure I have a good
answer to your question at this point. Let me mull the question for a
bit.


FWIW, personally, I would always go for PA space in any scenario
involving sub-assignments. But then, I am aware of RIPE's policies; many
people are not.
Maybe a questions like "are you sure PA space would not be better for your
needs" with links to relevant documentation in the PI space request form
would make sense.
