I like this more than the previous one, but still some questions remain:
- what about the AW for existing LIRs? Will it be auto-raised to /21 as well?
I think this would be part of the implementation. If the LIR had an IPv4 allocation for at least six months and their AW was under /21 then their AW would be raised to /21 - unless it has been reduced by the RIPE NCC because of misuse.
- what about the AW size *after* the initial raise? Can it be reduced to less than a /21 - and if yes, under which conditions, and at what time will it grow back?
Ah, perhaps I should have made it more clear in the updated text. This proposal does not change the current policy text, which states: "The AW may also be lowered after or during an audit if invalid assignments are noted." Regards, -- Leo Vegoda IANA Numbers Liaison
