Dear colleagues, We would like to give you an update on our impact analysis for the policy proposal 2019-03, “BGP Hijacking is a RIPE Policy Violation”. After feedback from the initial Discussion Phase, the proposers have created a second version of the proposal that will move forward to the Review Phase. As per the Policy Development Process (PDP), the RIPE NCC must perform an impact analysis on the proposal and publish this before the Review Phase can begin. We usually aim to finish our analysis within four weeks. In this case, our review has taken much longer than normal. This is because the proposal creates a completely new process within the RIPE NCC, with a number of operational, legal and communications implications. The proposal also outlines detailed steps for this process that have to be checked for consistency and feasibility. We are almost finished and expect this to be ready soon. The WG Chairs will then work with the proposers to determine when the new version of the policy should be published (along with our impact analysis) so that the Review Phase can start. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Officer RIPE NCC Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum
