-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well I suggest you contact the RIPE-NCC about this. There might be a way around this issue Without lying thru your teeth on the 2-year application form. If you get a green light from a hostmaster. I guess you can refer to that conversation to your ISP/LIR putting in your requests. However this is most likely NOT the correct procedure for application.
