Dear Aleksey, Thank you for your interest in our monthly PDP Update. Regarding the decision of rough consensus and the move to Last Call, please see the following announcement from Address Policy Working Group co-Chair Sander Steffann, where he outlines how he reached this decision: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2015-June/010296.h... As Gert wrote, well-justified objections to the proposal (that have not already been raised and addressed) must be sent to the Address Policy WG mailing list if they are to be taken into consideration To help people follow the discussion, the subject line for this thread should be "Consensus on 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations". Regarding our calculation that 10% of allocations were transferred shortly after: it is correct that this number includes all /22 allocations that were transferred in the past 24 months. These are allocations that would be subject to a holding period if the proposal is accepted (how long would depend on when the allocation was made). I would refer you to a presentation by Registration Services Manager Andrea Cima during the Address Policy WG session at RIPE 70. On page eight, you can see that the majority of transfers take place in the first few months after the allocation is made: https://ripe70.ripe.net/presentations/82-APWG_RS_Feedback_Final_AG.pdf I hope this clarifies your questions.

I can not agree that consensus has been reached for 2015-01 "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations"
Impact analysis shows that 10% of the allocations made by the RIPE NCC are transfers. But how this value has been calculated?
It is as [number of transfers] / [number of allocations made by the RIPE NCC]
for last 6 months
But how can you know when has been the transfered block allocated? It can be allocated last year but transfered only now.
But there were many other calculations, showing that the number of the transfers is less than 3% for the last /8.
Moreover this proposal doesn't close the hole allowed to open several accounts to one organization.

Dear colleagues,
Please find below the monthly overview of open policy proposals and the stage each has reached in the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP).
If you wish to join the discussion about a particular proposal, please do so on the relevant working group mailing list.
Proposals Open for Discussion: 2015-02, "Keep IPv6 PI When Requesting IPv6 Allocation" – Discussion open until 7 July 2015
Proposals in Last Call: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations"– Last Call until 21 July 2015
Proposals Awaiting Input: 2015-03, "Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size" 2014-03, "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments"
Proposal Overviews:
PROPOSAL: 2015-02, "Keep IPv6 PI When Requesting IPv6 Allocation" OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to remove the requirement that LIRs should return their IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignment when requesting an IPv6 allocation. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that little impact is expected in terms of routing table growth. STATUS: Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: address-policy-wg@ripe.net DEADLINE: 7 July 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-02
=====
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 any well-justified objections to the proposal that have not already been raised and addressed during the previous discussion phases.
PROPOSAL: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations" OVERVIEW: Currently, IPv4 allocations received from another LIR can only 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. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that currently around 10% of the allocations made by the RIPE NCC are transferred shortly after they have been allocated. STATUS: Last Call WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: address-policy-wg@ripe.net DEADLINE: 21 July 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-01
=====
The following proposals are awaiting input before they proceed in the PDP.
PROPOSAL: 2015-03, "Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size" OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to remove the requirement that large IPv6 allocations are based only on existing users and network infrastructure. As a result of this policy implementation, the RIPE NCC will be able to consider additional criteria when evaluating IPv6 allocation requests. STATUS: Discussion Phase - Awaiting impact analysis* FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-03
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. To this end, the following actions are proposed: - Remove the need for evaluation - Limit the number of AS Numbers per organisation to 1,000 - Require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that it will be the End User that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically reasonable. STATUS: Review Phase - Awaiting New Proposal Version FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-03
*The goal of the impact analysis is to provide supporting information to facilitate discussions about the proposal and to outline the proposal’s possible impact if it were to be accepted.
