Proposal Overviews:
PROPOSAL: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations"
OVERVIEW: Currently IPv4 allocations received from another LIR only can
be re-allocated after 24 months, while IPv4 allocations made by the RIPE
NCC can be transferred immediately. This proposal aims to align the
transfer requirements with a 24 month holding period for all IPv4
allocations.

=====
The following proposals awaiting decision from Working Group Chair
whether the Working Group has reached (rough) consensus.
PROPOSAL: 2014-03, "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number
Assignments"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to ease the requirements when requesting an
Autonomous System (AS) Number. It is proposed to remove the need
evaluation, limit the amount of AS Numbers per organization to 1,000 and
require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months.
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that it will be the End User
that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically reasonable.
STATUS: Review Phase - Awaiting Decision from Working Group Chair
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03
PROPOSAL: 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to allow the global transfer of Internet
resources. For transfers to the RIPE NCC service region from RIRs that
require needs-based policies, recipients must provide the RIPE NCC with
a plan for the use of at least 50% of the transferred resources within
five years.

FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-05
PROPOSAL: 2014-04, "Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from
the Final /8"
OVERVIEW: Currently, in order to receive a final /22 IPv4 allocation
from the RIPE NCC, Local Internet Registries (LIRs) must have an IPv6
allocation in the RIPE NCC service region. This proposal aims to remove
this requirement.
STATUS: Last Call - Awaiting Decision from Working Group Chair
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-04
PROPOSAL: 2014-06, "Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet
