Hi Nick, all,
1. problematic edge cases in section 5 due to the magic figure of 50% utilisation 2. what is a "special circumstance"?
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 -- Dr.-Ing.

These magic numbers should really be fixed. -Cynthia On Thu, Jun 29, 2023 at 10:55 PM Nick Hilliard <nick@foobar.org> wrote:

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.
Nick
