Hi I have an policy question regarding the "need".
We all know when RIR makes approves assignment LIR made if it is beyond LIR's assignment window, while the "need" has changed, the assignment become invalid. The question come to what the definition of need, as a young people here, I am a bit confused, Below I have few examples, please enlighten me if anyone has an thought about it. First one: Company A provides 100 customer dedicated server service at location A, RIR makes an assignment for 100 IP for his infrastructure, if, under condition that no other factor was changed, Company A moved his infrastructure to location B, but still providing same service to same customer, does the company's action need to be notified to RIR? And does this action considered invalid the original assignment? Second one: Company A provides web hosting service, but any casted in 3 location, and has provided the evidence of 3 location to the RIR during the time the company getting valid assignment, then A decided to cut 3 location to 2 location, does this invalid original assignment and need to be notified to RIR? So the bottom line is, what is the definition of need, is it defined as the service you are providing or defined as whole package of any of original justification material was provided, if was the later, then does it imply that anything, including location of the infrastructure, upstream providers etc has changed due to operational need, it will be considered as change of purpose of use and need to be notified to RIR? What should be the right interpretation of the policy by then? -- -- Kind regards. Lu
