This removes the need to manually update the same information in two places. It also reduces the risk of giving unauthorised access to the wrong parties.

In preparation, the community agreed on a policy change to establish a waiting list from which /24 allocations will be made from returned address space. The waiting list only becomes active once our pool of available IPv4 addresses is depleted. We have updated our software and procedures and are ready to go when the policy is triggered, which is the moment we can no longer allocate the equivalent of a /22: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/getting-ready-for-ipv4-run-out -- New LIR Account Applications We currently have a delay in processing new LIR account applications. This is due to the high number of requests we have received recently. All applications are being processed in the order that we receive them. Applications we receive from today will be waiting several weeks before being processed. From now on, applicants will almost certainly not be able to request a /22. Instead, they will join the waiting list to receive a /24 allocation from returned address space in the future. -- Webinars in October, November and December 2019 Learn about our measurement tools, the RIPE Database, IPv4 in the transfer market and more.

[news] Getting Ready for IPv4 Run-out
by Nikolas Pediaditis 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

Dear colleagues, We currently have around 1.91 million IPv4 addresses remaining in our available pool. We expect to reach the end of this pool in the next few months, before the end of 2019. Of course, the exact date is not possible to predict as this depends on the rate at which new members/additional LIR accounts are opened. We have been preparing for this situation for a long time and all the necessary steps are being taken to ensure a smooth run-out. The community discussed the situation well in advance and reached consensus on a policy change that deals with how the RIPE NCC should make IPv4 allocations to members after run-out. This all means that we will soon reach a point where members will activate their LIR accounts but find that they are not able to receive one of the /22 IPv4 allocations that we have provided since 2012. It is important to be clear that these members will have the same payment obligations as any other member and will not be eligible for a refund of their membership or sign-up fees in the event that they are not able to receive a /22 allocation. However, they will be eligible to receive a smaller /24 allocation from address space that we recover in the future. These allocations will be made via a new waiting list that will become active after run-out. The time a member spends on the waiting list will depend on their place in the queue and the rate at which addresses come back to us. To ensure our members remain informed as we near run-out, we have updated the information on our website: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/getting-ready-for-ipv4-run-out This includes a new page that explains how the waiting list will work: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-waiting-list Kind regards, Nikolas Pediaditis Registration Services and Policy Development Manager RIPE NCC
