Dear colleagues,
I'd like to reiterate my objection to this proposal. Anyone who thinks another block of 1,000 addresses is going to help them float their business is in my opinion delusional (because the next step would be an extra 2,000, then 4,000, ..). The problem
is not that you're getting a /22 - the problem is that we're out of space, never to come back. I also object to the notion that new entrants who joined the game recently have any more entitlement than new entrants 2 years from now.
The final /8 policy in the RIPE region has been, in my opinion, a remarkable success because there's actually still space left to haggle about. What does need fixing is the fact that there are a few obvious loopholes that are now being used to contravene
the intention of the policy, and are being used as a rationale for this proposal.
Kind regards,
Remco

Dear colleagues,
The Discussion Period for the policy proposal 2015-05, "Last /8
Allocation Criteria Revision" has been extended until 13 May 2016.
The goal of this proposal is to allow LIRs to request an additional /22
IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC every 18 months.
The text of the proposal has been revised based on mailing list feedback
and we have published a new version (2.0) today. As a result, a new
Discussion Phase has started for the proposal.
Some of the differences from version 1.0 include:
- Additional /22 IPv4 allocations can be only provided from address
space outside 185/8
- Only LIRs with less than a /20 in total are eligible to receive
additional allocations
- LIRs must document their IPv6 deployment as part of the request
You can find the full proposal at:

We encourage you to review this policy proposal and send your comments
to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net>.
Regards,
Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
