Dear colleagues,

Policy proposal 2024-02, "IPv6 Initial Allocations /28 ", is now in the Review Phase.

This proposal aims to change the initial IPv6 allocation size from /29 to /28 and allow one IPv6 allocation extension per member to /28 without justification.

This proposal has been updated and it is now at version 3.0. The main difference from version 2.0 is that one IPv6 allocation extension up to /28 without justification is allowed per member instead of per LIR.

The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis on this proposal to support the community’s discussion.

You can find the proposal and impact analysis at:
https://www.ripe.net/community/policies/proposals/2024-02/
https://www.ripe.net/community/policies/proposals/2024-02#impact-analysis
And the draft document at:
https://www.ripe.net/community/policies/proposals/2024-02/draft/

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four-week Review Phase is to continue the discussion of the proposal taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to review the full draft RIPE Policy Document.

At the end of the Review Phase, the Working Group (WG) Chairs will determine whether the WG has reached rough consensus.
It is therefore important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of your input from the previous phase.

We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft document and to send any comments to address-policy-wg@ripe.net before 11 June 2025.

Kind regards,
Angela Dall'Ara
Policy Officer
RIPE NCC
