Dear colleagues, A new RIPE Policy Proposal, 2025-01, "ASN assignment criteria revisited" is now available for discussion. This proposal aims to to simplify requirements for new ASNs, while ensuring that the requirements are enforceable in practice and preventing the exponential exhaustion of 32-bit ASN space. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/community/policies/proposals/2025-01/ As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of the 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@ripe.net before 4 June 2025. Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC
