Hi Rob, Sponsoring contracts create an excessive workload for the RIPE NCC, and removing this requirement would have a positive effect. Changes to registration data can still be made by the NCC, while connected LIRs will be responsible for ensuring database accuracy. If there is no direct PI registration with the RIPE NCC, then we don't need the contracts. This is the point. -- Best, Sergey

Hi Sergey,
Is this WG good for the discussion of possible reversion of the effect of 2007-01?
As Gert has mentioned, 2007-01 was discussed in the Address Policy Working Group, so at a first glance, changes to that should follow the same route. However, it’s not clear what the changes in policy would be to reverse the effect? Cancel all contractual arrangements? Not require them to be renewed? Would PI holders still be entitled to services such as RPKI? Legacy holders? If you could suggest some, we can work with the PDO and the chairs of other working groups to find the most appropriate venue.
From your follow-up message, are you suggesting that the implementation of 2007-01 has not led to an increase in database accuracy? Or something else?
Cheers, Rob
