Hi Gert, Actually not a bad idea not to put it through the policy process :-) Best, Remco -----Original Message----- From: Gert Doering [mailto:gert@Space.Net] Sent: donderdag 7 augustus 2008 10:34 To: Remco van Mook Cc: address-policy-wg@ripe.net Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] new policy idea for PA allocations Hi Remco, On Wed, Aug 06, 2008 at 11:44:56PM +0200, Remco van Mook wrote:
What I would suggest is that we set into policy that the RIR, in cases like this, allocates a single best-fit routable block of IPv4 space. So, if the request is for a /12 and the biggest block the RIR has left is a /14, you get a /14.
I can see the rationale, and I also think that it makes sense to do it that way, operationally. I'm not sure whether this is something the APWG can/should decide - it's borderland between "policy" and "procedure". We do policy, the NCC does procedure...
