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

Hi everyone,

I'd like to restart the discussion that was taking place on the mailing 
list before the RIPE Meeting in Athens.

The discussion happened on the mailing list and in Athens and moved to a 
discussion on whether we should permit PI transfers through policy -> I 
understand that Erik Bais is working on a policy proposal that would 
include PI transfers. However, the discussion on ASSIGNED PI to 
ALLOCATED PA status change for address space given and used by the LIR 
has been stopped and I would like to restart it.

My opinion is that I don't think a policy is needed for these changes to 
be performed by the RIPE NCC at the request of the LIR. Changes from 
ALLOCATED PI to ALLOCATED PA have been done in the past; plus - Tore has 
also pointed out some precedent where ASSIGNED PIs have been changed to 
ALLOCATED PAs.

By keeping the artificial limit of PI used by LIRs the registry is 
suffering as any assignments made within that PI block are not properly 
recorded in the registry/RIPE Database.

By looking back at the feedback received from lots of people in the 
community (and I counted at least 20 people responding to Andrea's 
e-mail) I have the feeling that this should have been already implemented.

Therefore, I'm curious:
- should we restart the discussion?
- was the minimum limit of the prefix size the only reason why it hasn't 
yet been implemented? (some were saying any prefix, some were saying min 
/22)
- or was it already implemented and I missed the announcement?

Kind regards,
Elvis
