> Dear colleagues,
> 
> From today, the RIPE NCC performs registry functions for IPv6 Endpoint 
> ID (EID) prefixes for Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP).
> 
> LISP is an experimental "map-and-encapsulate" protocol developed by the 
> Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF's) LISP Working Group:
> https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/lisp/documents/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/lisp/documents/>
> 
> The IANA has assigned an IPv6 prefix for LISP EID space in accordance 
> with RFC7954, which the RIPE NCC is now managing in accordance with RFC7955.
> 
> Interested parties can request this space from the RIPE NCC via the LISP 
> EID Request Form:
> https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv6/lisp/lisp-request-form <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv6/lisp/lisp-request-form>
> 
> LISP EID assignments are provided free of charge. RIPE NCC membership is 
> not required to receive a LISP EID assignment.
> 
> This is a temporary prefix for a trial period of three years. In 
> accordance with RFC7955, all assignments will be removed after 31 August 
> 2019.
