Dear Colleagues, The proposed change to RIPE Policy Document ripe-582, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy for the RIPE NCC Service Region", has been withdrawn. It is now archived and can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-04 Reason for Withdrawal: Since the introduction of 2013-03, "No Need - Post Depletion Reality Adjustment and Cleanup", it has become clear that the RIPE Community is heading towards full deregulation of the IPv4 assignment model. The proposer has decided that it is unlikely that the RIPE Community would achieve consensus on PI assignments from the last /8 without a requirements-based assignment mechanism. Consequently the proposer decided to withdraw this proposal. Regards Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
