=====
The following proposals are awaiting input before they can go any
further in the PDP.
PROPOSAL: 2015-04, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies"
OVERVIEW: Aims to create a single transfer policy with all relevant
information on the transfer of Internet number resources, replacing text
in several RIPE Policies. The proposal also introduces a 24-month
holding period for IPv4 addresses and 16-bit ASNs after any change of
holdership.
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Describes how the 24-month holding period for
scarce resources will be applied.
STATUS: Review Phase – Awaiting decision from working group chair
FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-04
PROPOSAL: 2015-05, "Revision of Last /8 Allocation Criteria"
OVERVIEW: Aims to allow LIRs to request an additional /22 IPv4
allocation from the RIPE NCC every 18 months. The latest version of the
proposal introduces several requirements, such as that the LIR cannot
hold more than a /20 of IPv4, must document their IPv6 deployment, and
must not have transferred any IPv4 address space before.
