PDP Number: 2007-01
Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC

Dear Colleagues,

The draft documents for the proposal described in 2007-01 have been
published. Please note that this is a new version of the proposal.
The impact analysis that was conducted for this proposal has also
been published.

The proposal states that a contractual relationship between an End
User and a sponsoring Local Internet Registry (LIR) or the RIPE NCC
must be established before the End User receives Internet number
resources (Autonomous System (AS) Numbers, Provider Independent (PI)
IPv4 and IPv6 address space, Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and
anycasting assignments) directly from the RIPE NCC. It also states
that the text in the policy should mention more explicitly that PI
assignments cannot be sub-assigned.
