2008-03 New Draft Document Published (Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space)
PDP Number: 2008-03 Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space Dear Colleagues, We have published a draft document for the proposal described in 2008-03 and the proposal is moved to Review Phase. This proposal describes the process for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 space from IANA to the RIRs. When a minimum amount of available space is reached, one /8 will be allocated from IANA to each RIR, replacing the current IPv4 allocation policy. You can find the full proposal at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-03.html and the draft document at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/2008-03-global-policy-draft.html We encourage you to read the draft document text and send any comments to address-policy-wg@ripe.net before 27 May 2008. Regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE NCC Policy Development Officer

Dear Colleagues,

I don't think a policy with a fixed size allocation to each RIR will do any good once the IPv4 space is running really low, especially given that the consumption speed of the RIRs is quite diverse. I would much rather see an adaptive policy (for example as described in 2007-09) in place. Marcus
