Emilio As previously stated, I do NOT support the "no need" policy and cannot support this document. IP addresses are a finite resource, as we all know, and obliging people to provide some level of justification makes sense. The argument for "conservation" may no longer be valid, but there will always be a compelling argument in favour of good resource management, which I believe the policy covers. RIPE should not remove the requirement to provide justification. Regards Michele On 2 Jul 2013, at 14:28, Emilio Madaio <emadaio@ripe.net> wrote:
Dear colleagues,
The second version of the draft document for the policy proposal 2013-03 has been published, along with an impact analysis carried out by the RIPE NCC.
Noteworthy changes in this version include:
- Text that suggested contractual requirements are only "recommended" for PI space (section 7.0) has been removed. This text was dependent on previously established context discussing PI vs PA space. As version 1.0 of the proposal removed the PI discussion in the preceding paragraphs, the resulting lack of context made the sentence confusing. The statement was also incorrect, as contractual requirements have been mandatory for PI space since 2007-01 was accepted.
- Additional wording has been added to explicitly state that PI space cannot be reassigned or further assigned to other parties (see section 7.0 for ASSIGNED PI).
- The third point from the last /8 policy (section 5.1) has been removed, as this is considered a meaningless circular reference by the author.
- General re-wording in some sections for improved readability.
- The policy proposal 2012-03 has been withdrawn, so the related argument against the proposal has been removed from the rationale.
You can find the full proposal and the impact analysis at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-03
The draft document can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-03/draft
