Thank you for the reference.

:-)

All the paperwork needs to be correct though, so we need an official way 
to give the NCC resources. Remco van Mook suggested a solution 
(http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/address-policy-wg/2008/msg00745.html) 
and offered to try to write a formal policy proposal 
(http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/address-policy-wg/2008/msg00823.html).
I think this is the best way forward and we should give Remco some time 
to work on that policy proposal.
