I've already understood the word «assignment» in the charging scheme (e.g., «the separate charge of EUR 50 per independent Internet number resource assignment» from ripe-800) to refer to the actual *num object(s) in the database, not to the one-time action of issuing the assignment(s). To me it doesn't really make much sense to issue a recurring charge for a one-time action like that.
That was the original idea. "A PI holding end-user has his PI network which is charged once a year as a reminder that PI is not free, and as a minor incentive to return the network when no longer used". The intricacies with "one /44 for 15 sites = 1 or 16 charging units?" etc. came up over the years... so giving clear guidance to the NCC on what is to be considered "a chargeable assignment according to the charging scheme" is definitely a worthy goal.
