You can find the proposal here: https://politicas.lacnic.net/politicas/detail/id/LAC-2018-1?language=en This is a global policy proposal, meaning that it would apply to all five RIRs. However, each RIR community would first need to ratify an identical version of the policy before it could be implemented. No such policy proposal has yet been submitted in our service region. We will let you know of any further developments.
