Dear Address Policy WG, while I can understand that beaches and drinks are more attractive than policy work, we have a proposal here that needs a bit of caring - this one is in Review Phase until Friday, and has received exactly one comment yet (strong support). I could use a *bit* more feedback here... thanks, Gert Doering, Address Policy WG Chair On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 01:30:43PM +0200, Marco Schmidt wrote: > > Dear colleagues, > > The draft document for version 2.0 of the policy proposal 2014-04, > "Relaxing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from the Final /8", > has now been published, along with an impact analysis conducted by > the RIPE NCC. > > Some of the differences from version 1.0 include: > > - Extending the fulfilment of the IPv6 requirement to include any > globally routable unicast IPv6 address block > - Related wording adjustments in the summary and rationale of the proposal > > > You can find the full proposal and the impact analysis at: > > https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-04 > > and the draft document at: > > https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-04/draft > > We encourage you to read the draft document text and send any comments > to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net before 29 August 2014. > > Regards > > Marco Schmidt > Policy Development Officer > RIPE NCC > > Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?

Given the amount of support, the WG chairs have decided that we have reached consensus. We think that all points brought up by the opposers have been sufficiently discussed - this might not be sufficient to convince the opposers to change their mind, but given sufficient support otherwise, it's good enough to move forward. This is what we'll do now -> move 2014-02 to Last Call. Marco will send the formal announcement for that tomorrow or Wednesday. For reference, a list of people that voiced support or opposition (or something else) in the previous review phase is appended below. This is what the chairs based their decision on. If you disagree with our interpretation of what has been said, and the conclusion we have drawn from it, please let us know.

2014-05 New Policy Proposal (Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources)
by sandrabrown＠ipv4marketgroup.com 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Tore, Thanks for your feedback. See below for comments. From: Tore Anderson <tore(a)fud.no> Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] 2014-05 New Policy Proposal (Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources) To: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net Message-ID: <53A7ECB6.60108(a)fud.no> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I like it, overall. Clearly there are a few who are interested in engaging in inter-RIR transfers, and if we can facilitate for this without imposing any cost or burden on those who are not interested, I can see no reason to not do this. With regards to the proposals second argument against (regarding the re-introduction of "need" if another RIR insists), I do not consider that to be problematic at all, as it would be a burden that would be borne in its entirety by the entity voluntarily taking part in a transfer involving a "needy" RIR. I have some comments/suggested improvements though: 1) I concur with other posters that the use of ?LIR? should be avoided. However, I'd also like to add that suggested replacement ?organisation? could potentially also be problematic, as a resource holder could be a natural person rather than an organisation. It would be preferable to avoid getting in a situation where non-organsation resource holders would be prevented from engaging in inter-RIR transfers even though the resource-specific policy would allow for that. Therefore I would suggest using even more general language, such as ?resource holder?/?resource holder to be? or ?entity?. **** I think this is a very good point, thanks. Sandra 2) The proposal seeks to add the following paragraphs to ripe-606 section 5.5: ?When Internet number resources are transferred to another RIR, the RIPE NCC will work with the destination RIR to allow the transfer to the receiving LIR. When Internet number resources are transferred from another RIR, the RIPE NCC will work with its member LIR to fulfil any requirements of the sending RIR.? These additions seem completely redundant to me, as the new policy document says pretty much the same thing in sections 2.0 and 3.0. (Also, ?fulfill? is incorrectly spelled.) *** Thanks for pointing out this redundancy issue. *** Let me look into it with Marco and the Chairs, as to whether we *** would add the text or were making a statement of fact. *** Agree on spelling of fulfill. Thanks. Sandra 3) Also in ripe-606 section 5.5 the proposal seeks to add the following: ?If resources are transferred as legacy resources, the RIPE NCC will apply the legacy policy when accepting these resources.? This statement seems out of place to me: * ripe-606 does not apply to legacy resources, a fact which is implied by the new paragraph as well. The statement therefore voids itself. * Even if disregarding the above, ripe-606 only covers IPv4. Legacy resources also include ASNs. So if the resource is to be transferred is a legacy ASN, this transfer would be regulated by a piece of policy text located in the non-legacy IPv4 policy....which would to me be a completely nonsensical outcome. IMHO, the only sensible place to locate a statement that essentially says "legacy resources are governed by the legacy policy" is in, you guessed it, the legacy policy itself (ripe-605). We're in luck, because it already does just that. :-) *** I am not sure we will add that statement to the policy or if it is *** just a statement of fact: that legacy policy will apply, as you say. *** Let me check with Marco, as what you say makes total sense to *** me. Sandra So in summary, all of the additions 2014-05 seeks to do in ripe-605 seem redundant or out of place to me, accomplishing no actual policy change beyond adding bloat. Am I missing something? If not, I'd much rather prefer that ripe-605 is left alone by 2014-05. *** Yes the intention is not to add bloat but perhaps to re-confirm what *** is already there. Thanks a ton for your feedback, and of course for *** your support for the intent. *** Sandra Tore End of address-policy-wg Digest, Vol 34, Issue 15 *************************************************

Re: [address-policy-wg] 2014-03 two cents on multi homing ASN requirement

I know I'm late in the game, but I thought I'd contribute this view rather than stay silent: Remove multi homing requirement for 32bit ASNs only, keep the requirement for 16bit ASNs. I foresee new weird legacy setups run by non-ISPs that still require a unique ASN well into the future. The example I would usually use is factory floor environments, but that is probably not an applicable example here. I hope someone else's imagination can supply a valid example.

[Ticket#2014081101013263] Transfer from last /8
by LeaderTelecom Ltd. 12 Aug '14

Dear Sirs, I suggest to allow transfer from the last /8 only in 2 years after date of allocation from RIPE NCC.

Policy Proposal Implemented: 2014-01, "Abandoning the Minimum Allocation Size for IPv4"
by Saloumeh Ghasemi 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the accepted RIPE Policy Proposal 2014-01, "Abandoning the Minimum Allocation Size for IPv4", has now been implemented. The full policy proposal can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-01 The new RIPE Document, ripe-622, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy", is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-622/ Please note that we republished the RIPE Document, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy", because it was originally published with a small error. The new, correct document is ripe-622, which deprecates ripe-621. As per section 5.5 of this new RIPE Document, Local Internet Registries (LIRs) are now allowed to transfer allocated Provider Aggregatable (PA) address space to other LIRs, regardless of the size of the allocations: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-622#55 The RIPE NCC will continue to issue /22 allocations, as per section 5.1: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-622#51 If you have any questions, please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net <mailto:ncc@ripe.net>>.

Max, all, the foremost concern of the RIPE NCC as a neutral membership organisation is to ensure accurate registration of Internet number resources. To do this, we rely on the information and documentation provided by our members. This documentation must come from a national authority and prove that the member exists as a legal entity. Russia and Ukraine both have national authorities that can confirm the existence of legal entities, so the RIPE NCC will accept documentation from whichever national authority the member chooses. cheers, Axel
