Thank you Marco. Dear all, I would encourage everyone to carefully read this second version (and not just respond "no, still hate it, kill it with fire") as it is quite different from the first version. Basically the only restriction left is to disallow transfers on all "last /8 space"* going forward, and there is some language added to the policy that tries to raise awareness that if you just go and parcel out that entire allocation to endusers, you might end up feeling a little bit silly a couple of years from now. Looking forward to a positive discussion, Remco * any suggestions for a better title for this space are most welcome as well

Dear colleagues,
The Discussion Period for the policy proposal 2016-03, "Locking Down the Final /8 Policy" has been extended until 15 July 2016.
The goal of this proposal is to ban transfers of allocations made under the final /8 policy.
The text of the proposal has been revised based on mailing list feedback and we have published a new version (2.0) today. As a result, a new Discussion Phase has started for the proposal.
Some of the differences from version 1.0 include: - Several restrictions have been removed - Adds a recommendation that LIRs should conserve whole or part of their final /22 allocation for interoperability purposes
You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2016-03
We encourage you to review this policy proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net>.
Regards,
Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
