2024.01 Revised IPv6 PI Assignment Policy - Next steps
Dear Address Policy WG, The Discussion Phase for Version 2 of policy proposal 2024-01 ended on 28 November 2025. The feedback received during this phase was limited. We have discussed the situation with Tobias, who has confirmed the intention to continue with the proposal. As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), at the end of the Discussion Phase the proposer, with the agreement of the WG Chairs, decides whether the proposal will move to the next phase or be withdrawn. The WG Chairs and the proposer have agreed to proceed. If you have not yet shared your view on this proposal, we encourage you to do so now. The limited feedback during the Discussion Phase on v2 of 2024.01 means that the community's feedback is particularly valuable right now. Even a brief statement of support, opposition, or neutrality helps us as WG Chairs assess the situation. You can find the proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/community/policies/proposals/2024-01/2/ Kind regards, Alex, Franziska, Leo Address Policy Working Group Chairs
Dear all, As I have personally stated since the first time this policy proposal was put forth, I believe this revision is a step towards the right direction. Having sponsored/requested around 2 gross worth of resources, the policy regarding IPv6 PI was quite vague and often difficult for both: - Us trying to enforce it properly without passing unqualified requests onward to the Resource Analysts - End Users trying to see if it would fit their use-case. Thus adding a lot of back and forth, and ultimately, a lot of operational overhead. Both for the RIPE NCC and LIRs / End Users. I am curious to see how this pans out, and would like to put my +1 in the hat for the go-ahead. :) Kind regards, and wishing everyone a nice rest of the week, Jori Vanneste AS41051 (9-5) / AS212123 (24/7) On March 23, 2026 7:01:41 PM GMT+01:00, "Franziska Lichtblau (rhalina)" <rhalina@old-forest.org> wrote:

Dear all, I would like to voice my support for the proposal. We are currently assigned a single /48, but would qualify for a /40 with the new policy, and are eagerly awaiting the adoption of it.

Hi all, I still very much support this proposal which will boost viability of IPv6 deployment in a lot of places, especially in smaller companies that aren't LIR.

Hi all, I also support the proposal. As an R&E institution, we see several use cases where the new proposal makes it easier to get PI prefixes for R&E and infrastructure purposes. Regards, Benedikt On 3/23/26 7:01 PM, Franziska Lichtblau (rhalina) wrote:
