[address-policy-wg] RIPE NCC impact analysis for RIPE DB Requirements TF recommendations

Dear APWG,

The RIPE NCC has released an initial impact analysis on the recommendations
made by the RIPE Database Requirements Task Force. This should prove a
useful reference point when reviewing the recommendations. You can find a
link to the impact analysis here, at the end of the first paragraph:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/rdb-requirements-tf/database-requirements-task-force-recommendations.


Regarding recommendation 2: IPv4 PA Assignments, the RIPE NCC reports the
following "Requirements" and "Impact".

"Requirements:
A new policy providing details about if and how to amend PA assignment
registration must be proposed and accepted in the RIPE Address Policy WG.

Impact:
The RIPE NCC will need to update the Database rules and related external
documentation. RIPE NCC Registry Services can expect some additional
tickets with questions and requests for support. RIPE NCC training course
content will need to be updated."

RDBTF recommendation 2: IPv4 PA assignments
The task force recommends that as resource holders have full responsibility
over the registration of their IPv4 PA assignment(s), they are free to make
assignments or not. If the community accepts this recommendation, the
relevant RIPE Policies should be updated accordingly, and documenting IPv4
PA assignment(s) will stop being a policy requirement.
Please note that the task force does NOT recommend that these assignments
be deleted but that resource holders can choose to document this
information in the RIPE Database.
However, if a resource holder wants to sub-allocate or partition part of
their IPv4 resources to another entity, the task force strongly recommends
documenting this sub-allocation or assignment in the RIPE Database.

Following the data consistency principle, the task force also recommends
resource registration requirements be applied consistently to all Internet
number resources, regardless of their type or status.
To ensure that the information published in the RIPE Database is correctly
updated by resource holders, the task force recommends that the RIPE NCC
continue to use ARCs (Assisted Registry Checks) to verify this data.
