I noticed that the policy is scheduled on the agenda for the next RIPE
meeting, but I didn't see anything change in status yet.  

Did anything change to its currently published form and how it is on the
RIPE website published ? 

If not, it is possible to get this phase concluded asap for the following
reasons : 

1) We are about to shift the period of assignment for PI from 6 months to 3
months. And by not having something like this in place, we'll end up with PI
space that is un-routable, as everyone (or at least a large portion of
ISP's) is filtering everything smaller than a /24. 
2) For LIR's, being able to do a PI request, without having to make up the
story upto the next /24, will make things a lot easier. 
3) For the IPRA's, reduction in workload as they don't have to shift through
all the made up stories on PI requests and actual legitimate PI requests. 

As some might say that this policy is out-dated due to the nearby IPv4
depletion, it would be my statement that this is the moment why you would
want this and want this ASAP for the above mentioned reasons. 

In short, can we move ahead with this and yes I do support this. :)
