Hi Everybody, I agree with Larisa. As a LIR 'responsible for ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED blocks, the amount of work to change all that would be huge compared to the gain. Back in 2002, I did a review of these blocks and managed to get a good number of assignments back, that we re-used as ASSIGNED PA. It also allowed us to update the real PI records. But this was quite a time-intensive exercise I'd prefer not to do again. Furthermore, knowing that our allocations are full to 90%, there's not much room for 'misuse' the PI policy (which actually does not apply in this case!) by assigning PI ourselves -> so benefit is quite inexistent Regards, André -----Original Message----- From: address-policy-wg [mailto:address-policy-wg-bounces@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Larisa Yurkina Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2016 1:40 PM To: Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> Cc: address-policy-wg@ripe.net Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] Update on ALLOCATED PI/UNSPECIFIED Randy Bush пишет 04.08.2016 14:12: >> My LIR have got ALLOCATED PI and ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED blocks about >> 20 years ago, according to those days policy.

Manual update inetnums from ASSIGNED PI into ASSIGNED PA in two /16 blocks creates a lot of additional job for my LIR. 2. Lack of reasonable explanations for customers why this should be done. That is why I'd prefer not to change anything here. -- With respect, *Larisa Yurkina* RIPN Internet Number Resources Group / Chief Manager l.yurkina@ripn.net <mailto:l.yurkina@ripn.net> / www.ripn.net <http://www.ripn.net> Т.: +7 495 737-0604
