Re: Corporations becoming a LIR

Hi!

I was wondering, basically, if I have any chance at this? While RIPE
clearly states the admission policy is open to any organization, in
order to get PIR (Provider Independent routing) being a RIPE NCC is
required, and I don't know if a corporation would have a shot.
Currently, we are not an ARIN member, but hold the Class B. 

The corporation exists in 6 EU nations, and I can demonstrate the
requirement for >2048 individual IP addresses.

I realize this the NORTH AMERICAN Network operator group, and most of
you deal with ARIN, but I thought some members might have experience in
this area as well.

Why not use that /16 for the 2K you need ? Would be a wast eof space to 
request a new /17 of /18 ??

Bye,
Raymond.
