Dear Colleagues, As you may remember, during the Address Policy Working Group session at RIPE 54, the community asked us to prepare a draft contract between End Users and the RIPE NCC in order to facilitate discussion about proposal 2007-01, "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC". The RIPE NCC Executive Board will meet at the beginning of September to discuss this draft End User contract. Only after this meeting can a draft contract be published. Until then, the proposer, Nick Hilliard, and the Address Policy Working Group Chairs decided to keep the current status of proposal 2007-01 as "Discussion Phase - Awaiting for Documentation." Kind regards, Filiz Yilmaz RIPE NCC Policy Development Officer
