[sig-policy] situation in RIPE REgion: prop-081 and prop-083
Hello,
In the announcement mails about prop-081 and prop-083, the situation in
the RIPE region was mentioned. I would like to make a clarification
about this.
prop-081: Eligibility for assignments from the final /8:
In the RIPE PDP there currently are two proposals regarding the last /8.
2009-04: IPv4 Allocation and Assignments to Facilitate IPv6 Deployment
(http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2009-04.html )
2008-06 Use of final /8
(http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-06.html).
2009-04 proposes that the allocations and assignments from last /8
should be used to facilitate IPv6 deployment while 2008-06 focuses on
ensuring that each existing and new LIR receives routable IPv4 addresses
that they can use for supporting legacy IPv4 services during the
transition phase to IPv6.
prop-083: Alternative criteria for subsequent IPv6 allocations:
In the RIPE region we had a similar proposal "2009-05 Multiple IPv6 /32
Allocations for LIRs"
(http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2009-05.html).
This proposal was withdrawn due to lack of support in the community.
However, this discussion led to another proposal "2009-06 Removing
Routing Requirements from the IPv6 Address Allocation Policy"
(http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2009-06.html) which reached
consensus and was implemented in October 2009.
