mnt-routes:    BLUELIGHT-MNT
notify:        john@bluelight.ripe.net

source:        RIPE

Leave the "inetnum:" and "netname:" fields empty as we (the RIPE NCC) will complete them.

Enter the legal name of the LIR's organisation in the "descr:" field.

Enter the ISO country code of the LIR's organisation in the "country:"
field.

Enter the org-ID of the LIR's organisation object in the "org:"
field. If you don't know your LIR's org-ID, you can find it in the
Organisation Object Editor (https://lirportal.ripe.net).

Person and role objects contain information about people. Each object
has a unique NIC handle (nic-hdl). You can create person and role
objects using webupdates (https://www.ripe.net/webupdates).

The nic-hdl of the role or person object in the "admin-c:" field
should reflect someone who is administratively responsible for the
network.

The nic-hdl of the role or person object in the "tech-c:" field should
reflect someone who has technical knowledge of the network.

Maintainers protect objects in the RIPE Whois database. They contain
the information needed to authorise creation, deletion or modification
of these objects. You can create maintainers using the Maintainer
Editor (https://lirportal.ripe.net).

The "mnt-by:" field must be RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT. You will be able to
update your allocation object using the Allocation Editor
(https://lirportal.ripe.net).

The "mnt-lower:" field shows which maintainer authorises the creation
of inetnum objects (i.e. assignments) within the allocation block.

The "mnt-routes:" field shows which maintainer authorises the creation
of route objects for the allocation block.

The RIPE Whois database must contain all of the objects that you
enter.

We will send an email to the email address in the "notify:" field
every time the allocation object is updated.

The "changed:" field must be hostmaster@ripe.net.

The "source:" field must be RIPE.

When you have sent this request form to us, please send separate
"Provider Aggregatable (PA) Assignment Request Forms"
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/iprequestform.html for all pending
infrastructure and customer assignments. Complete one PA Assignment
Request form for your infrastructure and additional PA Assignment
forms for each organisation you will assign PA address space to. Send
each form in a separate email to <hostmaster@ripe.net>.

You will receive a unique ticket number (NCC#xxxxxxxxxx) for each
form. We will then evaluate the requests for your first allocation and
your first PA assignment(s) at the same time.
