[address-policy-wg] 2019-05 Last Call for Comments (Revised IPv4 assignment policy for IXPs)

Dear colleagues,

Proposal 2019-05, "Revised IPv4 assignment policy for IXPs", is now in 
Concluding Phase.

This proposal aims to increase the reserved IPv4 pool for IXPs to a /15 
and finetune assignment criteria.

The WG co-chairs have declared that rough consensus has been reached and 
the proposal will now move to Last Call.

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this 
four week Concluding Phase is to give an opportunity to present 
well-justified objections for those who missed the previous two phases 
and wish to oppose the proposal.

Any objection must be made by 8 October 2019 and must be supported by an 
explanation.

If no substantive objections are raised by the end of Last Call, the 
proposal will complete the PDP and will be evaluated by the WG co-chairs 
for final consensus.

As this policy change has reaches rough consensus, the RIPE NCC has now 
reserved 185.0.0.0/16 for this policy change. If final consensus is 
achieved, the /16 will be used as per the policy proposal, and 
alternatively, if the proposal is withdrawn, the address space will be 
returned to the IPv4 pool for allocations.

Please e-mail any final comments about this proposal to 
<address-policy-wg at ripe.net> before 8 October 2019.

Regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Officer
