[address-policy-wg] 2014-12 Proposal Accepted (Allow IPv6 Transfers)

Dear colleagues,


Consensus has been reached, and the proposal for a change to ripe-589, 
"IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy", has been accepted by 
the RIPE community.

This policy change allows the transfer of IPv6 allocations and 
IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments within the RIPE NCC service region. 

You can find the full proposal at:

	http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-12

The new RIPE Document is called ripe-641 and is available at:

	https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-641


Given the similarity of this policy to the recently accepted 
Policy Proposal 2014-13, "Allow AS Number Transfers", the RIPE NCC will 
implement both policy changes together. 

This is a more efficient execution of the policy implementation process 
and will lead to an extension of only two weeks to the initial estimated 
implementation period. We therefore estimate that to fully implement 
both proposals together will take three and a half months in total.

Details of the implementation status are available at:

	https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/policy-implementation-status
 
We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete and 
the new procedures are in place.


Thank you to everyone who provided their input. 

Regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
RIPE NCC
