[address-policy-wg] Update on ALLOCATED PI/UNSPECIFIED

Hi Sander,

I think I should've carefully looked at Ingrid's e-mail, maybe through 
some glasses :)

Indeed, the message from Ingrid stated exactly what I was asking for.

I am still hoping to receive a message (it can be in private) from one 
of the the NCC's ops to see if we can find out why my initial message 
did not make it to the list.

Apologies for all the noise, at least this is not 'popcorn style' like 
yesterday's :)

Regards,

Elvis

> The message Ingrid sent on the 4th of August already stated: "The WG agreed that, where the LIR can document a mutual agreement that they administer the address space, a conversion from PI to PA should take place. In all other cases, assignments with the status ASSIGNED PI should be treated as being assigned by the RIPE NCC."

And that is as far as we need to go here. The rest are implementation details and should be left to the RIPE NCC. Let's not micro-manage who exactly they should talk to.
