in short:

- I still support a policy regarding End-Users needing a contractual 
relationship with RIPE or(!) an active(!) LIR

- I support the retroactive nature.

- I still have mixed feelings about supporting a 'non-complete policy'.
   Non-complete means, we still haven't seen a proposal for an actual 
contract, how it might look like and numbers (money) in it.
   But it's probably better that we seperate the policy & contractual 
things, indeed. Especially if theres the RIPE _OR_ LIR choice.

==> I can support this policy, with some minor reservations.

. o O(and i hope i really noticed all the smallprint that comes with 
that policy change, after all, it's sunday afternoon here and i might 
have missed a problematic point :-)
