[policy-announce] 2015-05 Discussion Period extended until 13 May 2016 (Last /8 Allocation Criteria Revision)

Dear colleagues,

The Discussion Period for the policy proposal 2015-05, "Last /8 
Allocation Criteria Revision" has been extended until 13 May 2016.

The goal of this proposal is to allow LIRs to request an additional /22 
IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC every 18 months.

The text of the proposal has been revised based on mailing list feedback 
and we have published a new version (2.0) today. As a result, a new 
Discussion Phase has started for the proposal.

Some of the differences from version 1.0 include:
- Additional /22 IPv4 allocations can be only provided from address 
space outside 185/8
- Only LIRs with less than a /20 in total are eligible to receive 
additional allocations
- LIRs must document their IPv6 deployment as part of the request

You can find the full proposal at:

We encourage you to review this policy proposal and send your comments 
to <address-policy-wg at ripe.net>.

Regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
RIPE NCC
