As for actually getting the RIPE NCC to issue a resource based on a request... I think there are two ways to go about this. One is making it a POLICY matter, and going through the PDP and updating the relevant documents. The other is solving it PROCEDURALLY, which basically means convincing the RIPE NCC to accept special requests and handle them when possible.

Very interesting idea. If there is a way to solve our issue PROCEDURALLY, that means there's no need to alter the present POLICY.

In summary:

* I support allowing people to request specific unused resources * I hope that can be done without a policy change

In fact we originally hoped to solve our issue in this manner, when we addressed RIPE directly. Do you know of any similar requests in the past? How were they solved? Who can we refer to in RIPE NCC with this request? -- Kind regards, Sergey Gotsulyak Ideco Sales Team 280 Madison Ave, Suite 912 New York, NY 10016 Phone: (800) 715-3502 Email: goz@idecogateway.com Web: www.idecogateway.com
