+1 to what Matthias, Tore, and Steven said. So, I also reiterate my support for moving 2023-01 forward. Arnold On 03.07.2023 18:46, Steven Bakker via address-policy-wg wrote:
Although I agree that the 50% number is problematic, the explanation by Marco is sufficient for me to vote "aye" on this proposal.
Yes, we should probably fix this at some point, but I agree with Matthias that, given Marco's explanation, this should not be part of this particular round of review.
Cheers, Steven

The proposal does not modify existing numbers (50%) or the "special circumstances". Both are in the current policy already (see old policy text 6.1 .4). I think the changes you propose should be done in a separate policy proposal as they are an addition to this policy proposal rather than a change.
Nevertheless RIPE has clarified how they handle the 50% issue currently (see Marco Schmidt's mail from mid May):
When receiving requests for more than a /24, the RIPE NCC checks that the IXP will need more than 50% of the assignment within one year. If their growth rate is too slow and we expect that it will take more than a year to exceed that utilisation threshold, we suggest that they postpone their request.
Thus, this issue is not urgent and can be discussed separately. I hope that answers open questions.
Regards, Matthias

I agree with Nick here regarding 1. These magic numbers should really be fixed.

It is therefore important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of your input from the previous phase.
this version of the document hasn't addressed the problems I raised on April 26. The authors need to give some consideration about what might be the best approach to fixing them:
1. problematic edge cases in section 5 due to the magic figure of 50% utilisation 2. what is a "special circumstance"?
I don't believe that the document should progress until these issues are addressed.
