If anyone knows the answer to these questions they will help in a policy study I am doing
1. When (i.e., what year) did RIPE-NCC first require RSAs or contracts as a condition of registering an address allocation or assignment?
2. When (i.e., what year) did RIPE-NCC first charge fees for services or addresses?
3. When (i.e., what year) did RIRs generally or RIPE-NCC specifically begin to use the 80% HD Ratio as a criterion for eligibility to receive more addresses?
If this is considered too off-topic for this list please answer privately.
I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but I do know how I would find the answers. The hard way to do find the answers would be to look in the RIPE document archive: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ The easy way would be a send a mail to the RIPE NCC: http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/email-contact.html Some poor staff member will likely have to munge through the documents too, but at least they will have a good idea where to start looking. Good luck! (Hopefully you're not working for the dark side...) ;) -- Shane
