We contacted many LIRs who made requests using the text-based email forms and in most cases they were using them out of habit or due to specific workflows they had. Most said they would not mind to change to the LIR Portal request forms, or adjust their workflows to use an API.

I'm a heavy mail form user, and I have been bitten by inconsistencies in the robot in the past (requiring bits that are not in the form, or refusing bits that *are* in the form, or lagging behind updated forms, or just refusing to understand me)...

The amount of interaction I have with the NCC these days is pretty much "two requests for every new LIR that is set up" (initial-v6, initial-v4), and every now and then, a spurious AS number or IPv6 PI, maybe 5 formal requests in total per year.

Given all that I would be fine with going through the LIR portal for these few requests.  Even if I still prefer mail to web interfaces :-)

Gert Doering         -- speaking for two minor LIRs not doing much PI/AS business -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
