Hi all, I added in cc the MAT mailing list, which is frequented by researchers. I believe that is the right audience for this proposal. @MAT: Support for this proposal should be expressed before this Friday (March 10). See proposal below. Reply by keeping both list. @Addres-policy: I support this proposal. ------- I also mention below a variation of this proposal, which could be it's own proposal/thread (suggestions welcome): There should be an easy way to do "temporary assignments" (which may or may not be the correct term in this case) to researchers/developers, starting from address space of a company which is "sponsoring" the research. The key part of what I would like to have is the possibility to provide somebody with access to LIR portal services but limited to a specific subset of my resources. In general, a company is not going to support a research/experiment by providing indiscriminate access to the LIR portal. Creating a new LIR or transferring prefixes is not a plausible solution in this context. Also, I believe this would remove the need for an approval procedure from the RIPE NCC side: (1) if the address space used is of a company, there is less need to validate the research project motivations; and (2) the company "sponsoring" is also the one responsible for the address space.

Hi,

We've not had any feedback on this proposal yet.

As a reminder, this proposal would set "the minimum assignment size to a /24 while still allowing for a smaller assignment if requested by the End User. This policy proposal also allows routing requirements to justify the request for more than a /24 for research purposes."

Support for the proposal, or arguments against it are welcome.

Many thanks,

Leo Vegoda Address Policy WG co-chair

Dear colleagues,

A new RIPE Policy Proposal, 2023-02, "Minimum Size for IPv4 Temporary Assignments" is now available for discussion.

This policy proposal recommends setting the minimum assignment size for temporary assignments to a /24 while still allowing for a smaller assignment if requested by the End User. This policy proposal also allows routing requirements to justify the request for more than a /24 for research purposes.

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four-week Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and provide feedback to the proposers.
