- An amendment to the existing policy document ripe-592

...which is the following: Replace section 5.5 of ripe-592, currently: "Any LIR is allowed to re-allocate complete or partial blocks of IPv4 address space that were previously allocated to them by either the RIPE NCC or the IANA." with "Any LIR is allowed to re-allocate complete or partial blocks of IPv4 address space that were previously allocated to them by the RIPE NCC or otherwise through the Regional Internet Registry System." Shall my understanding be that the rationale for replacing "the IANA" by "otherwise through the Regional Internet Registry System" is that the former - implying Legacy Internet Resources - would be in contradiction with the second paragraph: "Any existing or future RIPE policy referring to resources shall not apply to legacy resources unless the policy explicitly includes legacy resources in its scope." of section 1.2 "Scope" of the proposal? If not, what else is the rationale for this side effect on ripe-592 then? Anhow: the proposal gets my support - I'd like to see it becoming policy. Best, -C.
