Hi Nick, all, > 1. problematic edge cases in section 5 due to the magic figure of 50% > utilisation > 2. what is a "special circumstance"?
The proposal does not modify existing numbers (50%) or the "special circumstances". Both are in the current policy already (see old policy text 6.1 .4). I think the changes you propose should be done in a separate policy proposal as they are an addition to this policy proposal rather than a change. Nevertheless RIPE has clarified how they handle the 50% issue currently (see Marco Schmidt's mail from mid May): > When receiving requests for more than a /24, the RIPE NCC checks that > the IXP will need more than 50% of the assignment within one year. If > their growth rate is too slow and we expect that it will take more than > a year to exceed that utilisation threshold, we suggest that they > postpone their request. Thus, this issue is not urgent and can be discussed separately. I hope that answers open questions. Regards, Matthias -- Dr.-Ing.
