The Discussion Period for the proposal 2015-05, "Last /8 Allocation Criteria Revision" has been extended until 13 June 2016.
this has been decided by proposers and WG chairs based on your discussion and the upcoming AP meeting at RIPE72 (next wednesday) - keep the proposal active until after the discussion there (see below), then decide how to proceed.
From the discussion it was very clear that there is no consensus today to go ahead - without going into detail, it's clear that there are two strong factions, one that wants to preserve the remaining /22s for "as long as possible", while the other one wants to ease the pain for those LIRs that have too little IPv4 today, willing to incur earlier total run-out as a consequence.
Since we've supposed to work toward something that can gain consensus I've got a few questions for the authors, and those supporting 2015-05. So far all I've heard, I might have missed something, is that there is a need for more addresses. None have said why, or where there is a need. Why do you need more addresses and for what? Be specific, is it for having more address for the end-users? Datacenter? Services? Infrastructure? IPv6-to-IPv4 services? CGN?
