So here's my suggested text. In the proposed section 5.1 (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/other-documents/draft-v2-ipv4-address-allocati...) we add a new point:
«4. In order to qualify for receiving the allocation, the LIR must state an intent to use it for making assignments to one or more End Users.»
I may be wrong, but this seems to be quite a substantial shift away from v1 and v2. The previous two versions completely removed any requirement for stated intent, but this change would partially bring it back. This isn't a complaint, btw - just an observation. As an aside, I don't think it will make too much practical difference whether this statement is included or not, at least from the point of view of speculation. The language is vague enough that any respectable lawyer could easily side-step it. If the intent is to ensure that the LIR transferee makes the assignments, then the language could be tightened up.
