This proposal aims to align the transfer requirements with a 24 month holding period for all IPv4 allocations.

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: 2014-12, "Allow IPv6 Transfers" OVERVIEW: The goal of this proposal is to allow the transfer of IPv6 address space within the RIPE NCC service region.

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.

[news] RIPE NCC Consultations Report 2015
by Serge Radovcic 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Dear colleagues, >From November 2014 to January 2015, the RIPE NCC enlisted independent consultants to carry out interviews with RIPE NCC members and other interested parties in the RIPE community. The aim of these consultations was to check on our progress since the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 and to identify issues that our community would like us to address. The RIPE NCC Consultations Report 2015, which was prepared by the independent consultants, is available at: https://www.ripe.net/consultations-report-2015 34 people from 12 countries took part in the consultations, and we thank them for their participation. Interviews took place at the RIPE 69 Meeting in London, several interviews took place via web conference, and there were three physical meetings at locations in Europe. We thank the organisations that provided us with facilities for the physical meetings at no cost. We recognise the importance of having independent consultants carry out this work to ensure anonymity for participants' and to ensure that feedback is reported objectively. The consultations reinforce our commitment to constantly monitor the status and needs of our service region. We believe the input we receive is essential to improving our services for members and for the wider community. The RIPE NCC Executive Board will publish a response to the issues raised during the consultations. If you would like to share your opinion on the issues raised in the report, please respond to this mail or contact the Executive Board directly at <exec-board(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC
