    Hi everyone,<br>
    <br>
    I'd like to restart the discussion that was taking place on the
    mailing list before the RIPE Meeting in Athens.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    Therefore, I'm curious: <br>
    - should we restart the discussion?<br>
    - 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)<br>
    - or was it already implemented and I missed the announcement?<br>
    <br>
    Kind regards,<br>
