Dear colleagues, Consensus has been reached on the proposal to amend RIPE Document ripe-650, "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy". This policy change introduces new criteria for the evaluation of large IPv6 allocation requests: * Hierarchical and geographical structure * Segmentation for security * Planned longevity The existing requirements in the policy that stipulate the number of users a nd extent of the infrastructure remain unchanged. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-03 The new RIPE Document is called ripe-655 and is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-655 We estimate that this proposal will take about one week to fully implement. We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete and the new procedures are in place. Thank you to everyone who provided input. Regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
