Working Group:
Address Policy Working Group

Summary: This proposal aims to clarify the language in the RIPE Document “IPv6 Address Space Policy For Internet Exchange Points”.

Reason for withdrawal: During the discussion phase there has been feedback according to which IPv6 assignments for IXPs should be able to be used also for other purposes than the peering LAN. For this reason the proposer believes the current term "should" reflects the RIPE community understanding of this policy, and decided withdraw this proposal.

Address Policy Working Group

Summary: This proposal aims to describe how transfers of IPv4 address space between LIRs within different RIR service regions will occur. It  also adapts local transfer policy to allow compatibility with inter-RIR transfers.

Reason for withdrawal: The proposer of 2012-02 proposed 2014-05, a new inter-RIR transfer policy. 2014-05 focuses on being aligned with internal resource transfers as well as being more cohesive with the policies of other RIRs. As a consequence, the proposer decided to withdraw 2012-02.

Working Group:

Summary: This proposal created a framework for the rigorous maintenance of registration data and the delivery of services to holders of legacy Internet resource in the RIPE NCC service region. The proposal also amended the policies described in the RIPE Document, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region" where this was not consistent with the framework established by the proposal.
