Dear colleagues, The draft documents for version 3.0 of the policy proposal 2015-04, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies" have now been published, along with an impact analysis conducted by the RIPE NCC. The goal of this proposal is to create a single document with all relevant information regarding the transfer of Internet number resources. Some of the differences from version 2.0 include: - clarification in the policy text about entities that can receive a transfer - further clarification in the policy text and policy summary regarding the 24-month holding period for scarce resources You can find the full proposal and the impact analysis at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-04 And the draft documents at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-04/draft We encourage you to read the draft document and send any comments to <address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net> before 3 March 2016. Regards Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

Working group chair rotation 2
by Sander Steffann 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

Hello working group, A year has passed since we implemented our working group chair rotation mechanism, so it is time for one of the APWG chairs to offer his place in case the working group would like to see a change of chair. This time it is my turn to step down, and I will do so in the APWG session at RIPE 72 in Copenhagen. So this is the time for candidates to volunteer and make themselves known here on the list! To be considered candidates must make themselves know before the start of RIPE 72. So, let me start by volunteering again :) I would love to serve this working group for another term as one of its chairs. A short introduction for those who don't know me: * age 39 * shoe size 46, usually not wearing sandals though * university degree in computer science, master on distributed systems for supporting business processes * self-employed IPv6 consultant, customers include ISPs and enterprises * run a small LISP based ISP on AS57771 * attending RIPE meetings since RIPE 49 in Manchester, 2004 (missed none) * address policy working group co-chair since RIPE 54 in Tallinn, 2007 (https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap/minutes/minutes-from-ripe-54) And now for the future plans * guide the working group in making good policies * maintain a good standard of communication on the mailing list * while also giving space to people with different opinions * aiming to arrive at simple and fair policies for the benefit of the whole community * and explicitly not having a personal agenda while doing so I essentially want to use what I have learned in the last 9 years and continue to guide the working group in always-improving ways. Cheers, Sander Steffann (and thanks to Gert for providing a template to use when writing messages like this: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2015-April/009659…) ;)

Hi, i don't know if it's not to late to comment some points in general.. I would suggest to relax the restrictions of a transfer. The restriction were introduced because there were many new LIRs who wanted to grep one of the last IPv4 subnets only to have/sell them. So i think there should be a relaxed solution for longstanding LIRs. Sure, it could be that they request their last /22 only in mind to sell it. But is it really a realistic vision?! However, a transfer within a a group of companies which belongs together should be allowed or at least it should be possible to differ from the strict policies and check the individual case. We have currently the case that we wanted to transfer our last /22 (which were allocated last march) to our 100% subsidiary in the US but it's not possible because of the restrictions. Although we already use two /24 of the /22 there. I don't expect that there will be a near-term solution but i think it's worth to think about it for the future.
