Hi Denis, ripe-725 has been published on 30 July 2019, following up on the acceptance of policy proposal 2019-02, "IPv4 Waiting List Implementation”, https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2019-July/012987.h... and it has been implemented on 19 September 2019. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2019-September/013... This version stated - in section "5.1 Allocations made by the RIPE NCC to LIRs": "Once an equivalent of a /22 can no longer be allocated, the RIPE NCC will start allocating IPv4 resources based on a first-come-first-serve waiting list. At that point in time the contents of section 5.1 of this policy document will be automatically replaced with the contents of section 5.1bis and section 5.1bis will be deleted from this policy document." - in section "5.2 Unforeseen circumstances": "A /16 will be held in reserve for some future uses, as yet unforeseen. . . . In the event that this /16 remains unused at the time the remaining addresses covered by this policy have been distributed, it returns to the pool to be distributed as per section 5.1, and this section is to be automatically deleted from the policy document." ripe-730 has been published on 10 October 2019, following up on the acceptance of policy proposal 2019-05, "Revised IPv4 assignment policy for IXPs". https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2019-October/01306... ripe-733 has been published on 25 November 2019, following up on the automatic updates stated in ripe-725 (see above), as a result of the depletion of the RIPE NCC free IPv4 pool. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2019-November/0131...

Hi Angela
I have a question about policy ripe-725.
Q. When was the waiting list implemented? Q. When was the allocation size dropped to /24?
A. The waiting list was introduced and the IPv4 allocation size reduced from a /22 to /24 on 19 September 2019, as per ripe-725: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-725#51bis Are you saying section 5.1bis of ripe-725 became active as section 5.1 on 19 Sept 2019? This textual change in the policy did not take place in ripe-730, published on 20191010. But waited until ripe-733
