I’m guessing, in fact, that this proposal has been inspired from the APNIC proposal, which now is already a policy. It will be interesting to understand if the authors were aware of that, or if they reached the same conclusion, or there are different motivations, etc.

 

Of course, I supported the APNIC proposal, and support it here.

 

I will like to add that, even if I agree that the best path is probably a global policy, and possibly also an IETF document to back it, both of those, will require time. Meanwhile, I think is better to move on already in as many RIRs as we can, and then, if all the 5 RIRs adopt it, then we may want to try to have a common text and “convert” the policies into a global one.

Hi Clement,

 


I feel that the idea is good. But... 

It's true that there is not that much IPv4 "unallocated" remaining
space yet, and therefore that it mostly concerns IPv6 space.
However, if that policy is accepted and implemented, I'd say that it
should be globally done with cooperation among other RIRs and even with
space not delegated yet to any RIRs. 

 

Just to let you know that similar policy has already been approved by APNIC community in the September meeting and awaiting APNIC EC (Board) approval this month and will be implemented max by January 2020.

So, maybe it's quite early to go on it ?

 

One RIR is already doing it, so I guess its not quite early for RIPE :)
