open until 7 July 2015
Proposals in Last Call:
2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations"– Last
Call until 21 July 2015
Proposals Awaiting Input:
2015-03, "Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size"
2014-03, "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments"
Proposal Overviews:
PROPOSAL: 2015-02, "Keep IPv6 PI When Requesting IPv6 Allocation"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to remove the requirement that LIRs should
return their IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignment when requesting
an IPv6 allocation.
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that little impact is
expected in terms of routing table growth.
STATUS: Review Phase
WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: [email protected]
DEADLINE: 7 July 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-02
=====
The following proposal is in Last Call. Rough consensus has been
declared and the purpose of this phase is to give the community a final
opportunity to present any well-justified objections to the proposal
that have not already been raised and addressed during the previous
discussion phases.
PROPOSAL: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4
Allocations"
OVERVIEW: Currently, IPv4 allocations received from another LIR can only
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.
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that currently around 10%
of the allocations made by the RIPE NCC are transferred shortly after
they have been allocated.
STATUS: Last Call
WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: [email protected]
DEADLINE: 21 July 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-01
=====
The following proposals are awaiting input before they proceed in the PDP.
PROPOSAL: 2015-03, "Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to remove the requirement that large IPv6
allocations are based only on existing users and network infrastructure.
As a result of this policy implementation, the RIPE NCC will be able to
consider additional criteria when evaluating IPv6 allocation requests.
STATUS: Discussion Phase - Awaiting impact analysis*
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-03
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. To this end, the following actions are
proposed:
- Remove the need for evaluation
- Limit the number of AS Numbers per organisation to 1,000
- Require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that it will be the End
User that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically reasonable.
STATUS: Review Phase - Awaiting New Proposal Version
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-03
*The goal of the impact analysis is to provide supporting information to
facilitate discussions about the proposal and to outline the proposal’s
possible impact if it were to be accepted.
