We will write something up next week. If someone else does before us we can use that! My proposal would read like: - very small enterprises (VSEs) are those <32 hosts now - last resort registries will not assign address space to VSEs - VSEs can use private address space (RFC1697) - VSEs are easy to renumber once they connect - VSEs are likely to connect with one host only - service provider registries will assign VSEs smaller amounts of address space than 8 bits where possible - service provider registries will register these smaller amounts in the RIPE database when possible Rationale: Very many VSEs with 8 bits of address space each will use up too much address space. Is this acceptable to all? Implementation: If this was accepted the NCC could accept classles inetnums very soon even before the indexing is fully classless. Question: Should we publish such things as RIPE documents or just circulate them among registries as "current practise recommendations". I personally think we should publish them, but have heared reservations. Daniel
