Dear colleagues,
A new RIPE Policy proposal, "Revision of Last /8 Allocation Criteria", is now available for discussion.
The goal of this proposal is to allow LIRs to request an additional /22 IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC every 18 months.
FWIW I oppose this proposal. People are starting to feel the pain of IPv4 running out (as was foretold for the last decade) and I'm sorry for them but there is no cure (in the IPv4 world). The last /8 policy is doing what it's supposed to do. It was never supposed to satisfy peoples IPv4 demand, it is supposed to provide an absolute minimum of IPv4 for things like CGNAT and external services.
