You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2017-01 As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four week Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and provide feedback to the proposer. At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the agreement of the WG Chairs, will decide how to proceed with the proposal.

APWG meeting agenda 0.2
by Gert Doering 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Hi APWG folks, below you can find a second draft for the RIPE address policy WG meeting's agenda, which will take place in Budapest in the following time slots: Wednesday, May 10, 09:00 - 10:30 Wednesday, May 10, 11:00 - 12:30 If you have anything else you want to see on the agenda, or if we need to change anything, please let us know. Depending on the amount of "not yet known" things to show up on the agenda, we might only need one time slot. In which case, we can all join the Connect WG for a change :-) Notable changes in the second version: Item "E" added (this was prompted by a reference to an updated-behind-our-back RFC in the AS number policy), and due to "more policy proposals", item "F" moved to second slot.

The criteria used to evaluate the size of subsequent IPv6 allocations has been expanded to include: - Hierarchical and geographical structuring of the organisation - Planned longevity of the allocation - Segmentation of infrastructure for security You can find more information about the expanded evaluation criteria here: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv6/request-ipv6/assessment-crite… The archived policy proposal can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2016-05 The RIPE Document, "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy", is available here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-684 -- Kind regards, Laurens Hoogendoorn RIPE NCC Registration Services

by Sander Steffann 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hi working group, After reviewing the discussions on this mailing list about cleaning up unused AS numbers we think that the concerns and questions that came up have been addressed by the RIPE NCC. Therefore the working group chairs have asked the RIPE NCC to take the feedback into account and proceed with the cleanup. Cheers, Sander Steffann APWG co-chair

Cleaning up Unused AS Numbers
by Laurens Hoogendoorn 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Dear colleagues, As previously mentioned at RIPE 73, we are planning a project to clean up unused AS Numbers. You can find this presentation here: https://ripe73.ripe.net/archives/video/1456/ According to ripe-679, "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies" if an organisation no longer uses as AS Number, it should be returned to the free pool so it can be reassigned: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-679 There are currently around 6,600 ASNs in our service region (held or sponsored by 2,682 LIRs) that are not being advertised in the routing system. This represents around 22% of the ~30,000 ASNs assigned by the RIPE NCC. There are a number of legitimate reasons why an ASN might not be advertised in the routing system. However, it is also possible that the holder doesn't exist anymore or the ASN is no longer needed. Not only should unused ASNs be returned, but it's important to clean up out of date registrations, which affect the quality of data in the RIPE Registry. Our Proposal We plan to email the LIR or sponsoring LIR for each unannounced ASN and ask if the resource is still needed. We will group together ASNs that are sponsored or held by the same LIR to minimise the number of emails. We will ask if the ASN is currently being used or if there are plans to start using the ASN in the coming three months. Organisations can always request a new ASN in the future if they need one. If we do not receive a reply or if the ASN will not be used within three months, we will start the process of returning the ASN to the free pool. The deregistration process will take three months, during which time the LIR can still indicate that the ASN is needed. If the ASN is still needed, the validity of the assignment (such as the multihoming requirement) will not be re-evaluated. We do not expect any significant cost or impact on other services, as most of this process will be automated and we will not need to re-evaluate the assignments. Contacting all relevant LIRs will take less than six months. Please review this proposal and send any comments or other feedback before Thursday 6 April to <address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Laurens Hoogendoorn Registration Services RIPE NCC
