[policy-announce] 2005-02 Proposal Accepted (IP Assignments for Anycasting DNS)

PDP Number: 2005-02
IP Assignments for Anycasting DNS

Dear Colleagues,

Consensus has been reached, and the proposal described in 2005-02 has
been accepted by the RIPE community.

You can find the full proposal at:

    http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2005-2.html

Two policy documents were affected by this proposal and now are
updated and published:

IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC
Service Region, ripe-387
    
    http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv4-policies.html
  
and
IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy, ripe-388
 
    http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6policy.html

Thank you for your input.

We also noticed an error in the previous IPv4 policy document,
ripe-368. In 2004, utilisation requirements to receive a first 
allocation were dropped and the document was updated accordingly. 
However, a reference to this changed policy was overlooked in this 
previous update:

5.4 Sub-allocations:
...
Downstream network operators efficiently using a /22 sub-allocation
qualify to receive a /20 PA allocation from the RIPE NCC if they
decide to become an LIR themselves.
...

We also removed this out of date reference from the document in
ripe-387.

We apologise for any confusion.

Kind regards, 

Filiz Yilmaz
RIPE NCC 
Policy Development Officer
