A quote from the draft: 6.1 Documentation for Assignments [...] The RIPE NCC provides forms for gathering the required information. The information requested in the forms must be collected by the LIR. [...] Nothing wrong with this, but if we are expected to follow the wording the forms have to be stable. >Also, providing services via the LIR Portal will let us improve the request >process to make it easier and faster in the future. >Thank you for your insights into these new forms. We are keen to get >reactions from LIRs so that we can continue to improve and update them and >the services we provide - both e-mail and web versions. Looks like RIPE NCC gets a bit too webbish for us (as in the dilbert strip http://www.gaertner.de/~schuma/not-too-webbish.gif). What about providing a new autohm in ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/tools/ ? We use autohm for each assignment to meet the documentation requirement of the current policy: 5.1.1 Documentation [...] However, if a request needs to be approved by the RIPE NCC or if information is required in the event of an audit, the information must be submitted on a current version of the IPv4 Address Space Request Form available from [...] The IPv4 policy draft makes the need for autohm even clearer: [...] This is very important when an LIR makes assignments using its AW. If a request needs to be approved by the RIPE NCC or if information is required in the event of an audit, the information must be submitted on a current version of the request form found at: [...] Most of our assignments fall into the "using its AW" category. According to ripe-170 "Pro-active Audits of LIRs with little contact" should exist. Using autohm ensures that we could provide the documentation in the required format on the fly. Regards, Joerg
