Dear colleagues, First, many thanks to Angela for getting the proposal published. With the draft now available to the working group, I would like to hear your feedback. You will notice that I reused the audit and policy compliance wording directly from the current IPv4 policy. As RIPE NCC staff, taking a conservative approach felt like the most appropriate starting point for a policy proposal. However, there might be better ways to phrase this. If you support the intent of this proposal, I welcome any suggestions for improvements so that, together, we can develop the text further. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Manager Registration Services RIPE NCC On 19/10/2026 13:38, Angela Dall'Ara wrote:
