[policy-announce] 2023-01 - New Version Policy Proposal (Reducing IXP IPv4 assignment default size to a /26)

Dear colleagues,

RIPE policy proposal 2023-01, "Reducing IXP IPv4 assignment default size 
to a /26" is now available for discussion again.

The goal of this proposal is to reduce the default size of IPv4 
assignments for IXPs from a /24 to /26 and clarifies the return of the 
assignments previously issued for their IXP peering LAN.


Following the last round of discussion, this proposal has been updated 
and it is now at version 2.0.
The main difference from version 1.0 is that IXPs are not required to 
implement the exchange of IPv4 routing information over IPv6 before 
requesting an assignment larger than a /24.

You can find the full proposal at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-01

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this 
four-week Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and provide 
feedback to the proposer.

At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposers, with the agreement of 
the WG Chairs, will decide how to proceed with the proposal.

The PDP document can be found at:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-781


We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to
address-policy-wg at ripe.net before 4 April 2023.


Kind regards,

Angela Dall'Ara
Policy Officer
RIPE NCC
