[address-policy-wg] PA policy

Hello, At the risk of sounding naïve, I have a question regarding the legitimate usage of PA address space. That is, what *type* of network or End User can it be assigned to. "LIRs are allocated Provider Aggregatable (PA) address space. They sub-allocate and assign this to *downstream networks*." https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-643#7 To me this reads networks or End Users assigned PA space must receive transit from the LIR holding the parent allocation. Or can the LIR assign PA blocks to customers/companies that don't receive transit, or any other technical network service for that matter, from the LIR? Regards, James
