Dear colleagues,
attached you will find a policy proposal we call "Run Out Fairly".
It is based on a discussion instigated by your's truly during the
open policy hour at the latest RIPE meeting.
This is a proposal to gradually reduce the allocation and assignment
periods in step with the expected life time of the IPv4 unallocated pool
in order to address the perception of unfairness once the pool has run
out.
The proposal is not intended to stretch the lifetime of the unallocated
pool.
The proposal is independent of other proposals to reserve address space
for transition purposes and/or new entrants. It can be implemented
independently of these.
We thank Filiz Yilmaz for her help, invite discussion of this proposal
and look forward to high quality comments.
For the authors
Daniel Karrenberg
PS: Can we refer to this proposal by name and not by number? ;-)
