Hi Florian, LIRs need to provide a copy of the contract as well as the registration documents of the End User organisation when requesting independent Internet number resources. This is described in the RIPE Policy document ripe-452: "The intention of this policy document is to ensure that the RIPE NCC, as the intermediate manager of provider independent resource assignments to End Users, can confirm that the End User exists, continues to exist and that they continue to fulfil their obligations to comply with the original assignment conditions." (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-452) The policy document also describes the contractual responsibilities of End Users and LIRs. For more information about the responsibilities and requirements, please visit this website: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/direct-assignments/requ...
This mailbox is restricted to LIRs.
Thank you for the feedback, we will make sure that End Users will also be able to use this mailbox. -- Kind Regards Arne Kiessling IP Resource Analyst RIPE Network Coordination Centre Florian Weimer wrote:

Holders of independent Internet number resources sign an agreement with a sponsoring LIR, so they should know which LIR they signed an agreement with.
Hi Arne,
are LIRs required to share those contracts with RIPE NCC?
I wouldn't be surprised if LIRs had a wide range of views regarding the contractual requirements in RIPE-452. That's why I think that a notification of the resource owner might be helpful.
If you have a specific issue that you would like to discuss, please reply to me off list or contact <enduser-contract@ripe.net>.
Thanks, I will try to gather additional information from there.
This mailbox is restricted to LIRs. In general, you also need a contact for resource holders, I think. (This is not a problem in my case, though.)
Regards, Florian
