Hi,

Existing LIRs are supposed to have something like this in place already.
When an LIR is making an assignment that falls within its assignment
window, that LIR alone is responsible for evaluating their End User's
need and supporting documentation (and archiving it).

Should 2013-03 pass, LIRs are free to continue justifying their
assignments using the exact same criteria that they did before. The
ripe-583 request form will formally be obsoleted by 2013-03, but that
doesn't mean that LIRs can't continue to use it as if nothing happened.
