In order to prevent a drop of the proposal soley by not commenting it:

First of all, I support this proposal.

Historic experience shows, that direct assigned ressources are lost, because
nobody can determine who is using the ressource currently. This 2007-1 (v3)
solves this issue for new assignments.

Especially the point of forbitten subassignments make me happy. To tell a
story from this week: A customer changed his internet connection to us and
choosed to exchange his PI to PA. I run into trouble giving the PI back: The
inetnum won't disappear for months. On request I was told, that this PI
space was never given out, but part of an larger block. Fortunely the admins
of the assigned PI space does exists and respond, so the inetnum could be
deleted this week. It's interesting to see, that there was no connection
between the assigned PI and the subassigned PI anymore. The was a reseller
chain for at least three companies, all of them does not exist anymore (one
was gone in 1997).

In summary 2007-1 (v3) does solve a real issue, so I support it.
