Erm, the community did have many chances to disapprove, and in the end only mostly minor details were still discussed, apart from voices which would like to have allocations made to exchanges. If that's really wanted, then this path is still open, but that would take more effort. > As chairpeople of two of the respective working groups, we asked the RIPE NCC > to schedule a slot at the next meeting in order to have a final > discussion regarding this very topic. And then there's a summary on the mailing list, and then some more exchange on the mailing ist, and then again some discussion on the next meeting ... This has gone on for too long already, and many people want to see it implemented and get started. The issue is nothing fundamental - it's basically that RIPE itself does what anyone else could do, to assign address space to IXPs. > We would like to ask you to suspend the proposed policy until we have > had a chance to ask the RIPE community for approval. Please don't! Robert
