it would appear that the phrase «Within the RIPE NCC service region,» is to be added at the beginning of the second paragraph in section 5.5.
I'm curious, why is this phrase being added? It does not seem to be discussed in the proposal summary or rationale. It also seems redundant, given that section 1.1 Scope in ripe-553 already says «this document describes the policies for the responsible management of globally unique IPv4 Internet address space in the RIPE NCC service region». It appears to me that the new paragraph being added («other than for an additional allocation, for the purpose of determining need, a period of 24 months is used in evaluating a transferred allocation»), is on it's own sufficient to accomplish 2012-03's stated goal of increasing the transfer-need-period to 24 month. -- Tore Anderson Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
