by Angela Dall'Ara 07 Apr '23

07 Apr '23

Dear colleagues, A new RIPE Policy Proposal, 2023-02, "Minimum Size for IPv4 Temporary Assignments" is now available for discussion. This policy proposal recommends setting the minimum assignment size for temporary assignments to a /24 while still allowing for a smaller assignment if requested by the End User. This policy proposal also allows routing requirements to justify the request for more than a /24 for research purposes. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-02 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 proposers. At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposers, with the agreement of the WG Chairs, will decide how to proceed with the proposal. The PDP document can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-781 We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net before 10 March 2023. Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC

At RIPE 85 we continued a review of the IPv6 policy that began at RIPE 83. Several areas for improvement were agreed. We promised to host an inter-sessional webinar to discuss priorities and the outcomes to work towards. The identified areas for improvement include: - Better guidance on documentation requirements for large allocations - Simpler language for the HD-ratio - Make it easier for small networks to assign a few addresses to other organisations - Ensure allocations always fall on a nibble boundary If you wants to help us set priorities and define the outcomes the community needs you are welcome to join. Monday, 20 February 2023 at 13:00 UTC (14:00 CET).
