[address-policy-wg] Guidance Requested: Changing the Status of PI Address Space

Hi Carsten, 

I'm in favor of LIR's being able to change the PI status to PA for their own assigned PI space. (Infrastructure) 

I think that the whole PI and PA discussion itself will take some time to complete, but this particular change should be fairly easy to implement imho. 

Regards,
Erik Bais

I feel that this got stalled a bit in the meantime: any feelings on 
where we are and what to do next?

AFAIR most, if not all contributions were in favour of the idea.

Filiz Yilmaz on Fri, 12 Jul 2013, at 15:48:19 +0200 pledged to have a 
slightly more careful discussion, maybe even a PDP, about it:

And the somewhat connected idea to completely abandon PI vs. PA 
distinction was floated by Olaf Sonderegger and Hans Petter Holen:

I am still in favour of the original approach and would like to see it 
implemented and/or executed, respectively.

All the best,
