Proposal Overviews:

PROPOSAL: 2014-03, "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number 
Assignments"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to ease the requirements when requesting an 
Autonomous System (AS) Number. It is proposed to remove the need 
evaluation, limit the amount of AS Numbers per organization to 1,000 and 
require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months.
RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that it will be the End User 
that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically reasonable.
STATUS: Review Phase (extended)
WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – 
address-policy-wg at ripe.net
DEADLINE: 19 May 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03

=====

The following proposal is in Last Call. Rough consensus has been 
declared and the purpose of this phase is to give the community a final 
opportunity to present well-justified objections in case anyone wants to 
oppose the proposal.

PROPOSAL: 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources"
OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to allow the global transfer of Internet 
resources. For transfers to the RIPE NCC service region from RIRs that 
require needs-based policies, recipients must provide the RIPE NCC with 
a plan for the use of at least 50% of the transferred resources within 
five years.
STATUS: Last Call
WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – 
address-policy-wg at ripe.net
DEADLINE: 3 April
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-05

=====

The following proposal is awaiting decision from proposer on how to proceed.

PROPOSAL: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 
Allocations"
OVERVIEW: Currently IPv4 allocations received from another LIR only can 
be re-allocated after 24 months, while IPv4 allocations made by the RIPE 
NCC can be transferred immediately. This proposal aims to align the 
transfer requirements with a 24 month holding period for all IPv4 
allocations.
STATUS: Discussion Phase - Awaiting Decision from Proposer
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2015-01

=====

The following proposals have been accepted since the last RIPE Policy 
Proposal Update.  The RIPE NCC has started the implementation of these 
policy changes. The RIPE NCC will follow the policy change once the 
implementation is complete and the new procedures are in place.

PROPOSAL:  2014-04, "Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from 
the Final /8"
OVERVIEW: Previously, in order to receive a final /22 IPv4 allocation 
from the RIPE NCC, Local Internet Registries (LIRs) must have an IPv6 
allocation in the RIPE NCC service region. This proposal removed this 
requirement.
STATUS: Accepted
EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: Implemented on 18 March 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-04

PROPOSAL: 2014-06, "Publication of Sponsoring LIR for Legacy Internet 
Resource Holders"
OVERVIEW: This proposal requested the RIPE NCC to publish the link 
between legacy holders and their sponsoring Local Internet Registry (LIR).
STATUS: Accepted
EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: April 2015
FULL PROPOSAL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-06

PROPOSAL: 2014-12, "Allow IPv6 Transfers"
OVERVIEW: This proposal allowed the transfer of IPv6 allocations and 
IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments.
