Dear colleagues,

The policy proposal 2023-02, "Minimum Size for IPv4 Temporary Assignments" is now in the extended Review Phase in an updated version.

Following up on the feedback received, the wording was simplified without changing the proposal content.

This policy proposal recommends setting the minimum assignment size for IPv4 temporary assignments to a /24, while still allowing for a smaller assignment if requested by the End User. This policy proposal also allows routing requirements to justify the request for more than a /24 for research purposes.

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this Review Phase extension is to continue discussing the proposal taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to review the updated version of the full draft RIPE Policy Document.

At the end of the Review Phase, the Working Group (WG) Chairs will determine whether the WG has reached rough consensus.

It is therefore important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of your input from the previous phase.

If you support this version of the proposal (v 2.0), please indicate that support with a simple message to the mailing list.

If you have objections or would like a change, please provide that feedback to the mailing list.
