Hi WG We are LIR and we have several active contracts with our customers for sponsoring PI. Because I think PI End User must requests a resource certificate through their sponsoring LIR I think option 1 is good and our customers request will be compatible with this option. *1. Sign an agreement with their sponsoring LIR (a RIPE NCC member) to* *have the resources certified by the RIPE NCC via the sponsoring LIR. In* *this case, the sponsoring LIR would be responsible for periodically* *verifying that the PI End User is the legitimate holder of the* *resources. However, the RIPE NCC will in all cases be responsible for* *issuing the resource certificate and providing access to the RPKI* *management interface. Therefore, PI End Users should, at all times, be* *able to change from one sponsoring LIR to another while still retaining* *the same certificate for the resources that they hold.* * * Regards Hamed Shafaghi
