Proposal Overviews:
PROPOSAL: 2014-03, "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number
Assignments"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to ease the requirements when
requesting an Autonomous System (AS) Number. It is proposed to
remove the need evaluation, limit the amount of AS Numbers per
organization to 1,000 and require that 16-bit AS Numbers are
multihomed after nine months.
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that it will be the End
User that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically
reasonable.
STATUS: Review Phase (extended)
WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group –
address-policy-wg@ripe.net
DEADLINE: 19 May 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03
=====
The following proposal is in Last Call. Rough consensus has been
declared and the purpose of this phase is to give the community a
final opportunity to present well-justified objections in case
anyone wants to oppose the proposal.
PROPOSAL: 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet
Resources"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to allow the global transfer of
Internet resources. For transfers to the RIPE NCC service region
from RIRs that require needs-based policies, recipients must provide
the RIPE NCC with a plan for the use of at least 50% of the
transferred resources within five years.

=====
The following proposal is awaiting decision from proposer on how to
proceed.
PROPOSAL: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4
Allocations"
OVERVIEW: Currently IPv4 allocations received from another LIR only
can be re-allocated after 24 months, while IPv4 allocations made by
the RIPE NCC can be transferred immediately. This proposal aims to
align the transfer requirements with a 24 month holding period for
all IPv4 allocations.
STATUS: Discussion Phase - Awaiting Decision from Proposer
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2015-01
=====
The following proposals have been accepted since the last RIPE
Policy Proposal Update. The RIPE NCC has started the implementation
of these policy changes. The RIPE NCC will follow the policy change
once the implementation is complete and the new procedures are in
place.
PROPOSAL: 2014-04, "Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space
from the Final /8"
OVERVIEW: Previously, in order to receive a final /22 IPv4
allocation from the RIPE NCC, Local Internet Registries (LIRs) must
have an IPv6 allocation in the RIPE NCC service region. This
proposal removed this requirement.
STATUS: Accepted
EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: Implemented on 18 March 2015
