This policy proposal is a Very Bad Idea. I oppose it. The arguments presented in support of this proposal make no sense. IMO 2015-05 is harmful and not in the best short- or long-term interests of the RIPE community. There may be a case for making an LIR's final IPv4 allocation larger than a /22. However that position is not yet backed up by any supporting data and would need to go in another policy proposal anyway. I hope the WG kills 2015-05.

2014-03 "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Numbers Assignments" take #4
by Job Snijders 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Dear APWG, Following the outcome of the vote on the new charging scheme, the inevitable depletion of 16-bit ASNs, opposition to arbitrary limits suck as '1000', but most importantly the incessant need to obtain ASNs when one needs them, we have a new simpler version of the proposal ready for your consideration and review: """ A new AS Number is only assigned when the End User has a need that cannot be satisfied with an existing AS Number. RIPE NCC will record, but not evaluate this need. The Autonomous System's routing policy should be defined with RPSL in the RIPE RIPE Database. The RIPE NCC will assign the AS Number directly to the End User upon a request that is properly submitted to the RIPE NCC either directly or through a sponsoring LIR. AS Number assignments are subject to the policies described in the RIPE Document, "Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region". """ diff: https://github.com/ytti/ripe/commit/5c0a8587c53c42e5b6630716ff073cfd117ef1b9 full: https://github.com/ytti/ripe/blob/master/ripe-525.remove_multihome.txt I've noted as an argument opposing this proposal: "An adversary could try to deplete the pool of available ASNs." If someone has a workable suggestion how to resolve that in policy, I am all ears, but I wouldn't mind a pragmatic approach where we just trust our community and deal with issues if and when they arise. Kind regards, Job

New on RIPE Labs: IPv4 in the RIPE NCC Service Region - Three Years After Reaching the Last /8
by Mirjam Kuehne 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Dear colleagues, In September 2012 the RIPE NCC reached its last /8 of available IPv4 addresses. This activated a new phase in the RIPE IPv4 policies, with each LIR now eligible to receive one final /22 allocation. In this new article on RIPE Labs we look at developments in IPv4 allocations and remaining addresses at the RIPE NCC in the three years since then: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/ipv4-in-the-ripe-ncc-service-region-t… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Policy Proposal Implemented: 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources"
by Nikolas Pediaditis 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that we have implemented the policy proposal 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources". In accordance with the new policy, Internet number resources can be transferred between resource holders in the RIPE NCC service region and resource holders in the service regions of other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). Inter-RIR transfers are possible between RIRs with compatible policies. Currently, ARIN and APNIC are the only RIRs that can perform inter-RIR transfers with the RIPE NCC: - IPv4 addresses can be transferred to/from the ARIN service region - IPv4 addresses and AS Numbers can be transferred to/from the APNIC service region The main web page on inter-RIR transfers with the supporting documentation and all related information to get you started can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/tra… The archived policy proposal can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-05 The RIPE Document, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources", is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-644 Kind regards, Nikolas Pediaditis RIPE NCC Registration Services
