Name	Status	Proposal Number	Working Group	Date Archived
Introducing DNSSEC Service to Reverse DNS Trees	ACCEPTED	2005-07	DNS Working Group	October 2005
Summary: To implement DNSSEC, we propose extending the policy for Reverse Address Delegation of IPv4 and IPv6 Address Space in the RIPE NCC Service Region.
Proposal to Add Regional Boundaries to Policy Documents	WITHDRAWN	2005-06	Address Policy Working Group	July 2005
Summary: Our AS assignment policy has the following statement in it - "The RIPE NCC assigns AS Numbers for Autonomous Systems located in the RIPE NCC service region". Neither the IPv4 nor the IPv6 policy documents have such a clear statement in them. It might be a good idea to add a similar statement to those documents when they are updated. Reason for Withdrawal: The proposer decided to withdraw this proposal.
Proposal to Remove Special African Policies From RIPE Policy Documents	ACCEPTED	2005-05	Address Policy Working Group	July 2005
Summary: To modify the policy document text to reflect full recognition of AFRINIC as a functioning RIR.
IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy - definition for "End-Site"	WITHDRAWN	2005-04	Address Policy Working Group	January 2006
Summary: There are various terms for "end-site" in the IPv6 allocation and assignment policy (ripe-267) and the RFC3177. We need to have a final definition for "End-Site" to establish clear internal assignment policies. Reason for Withdrawal: During discussions the proposer decided that the proposal was no longer necessary.
IPv6 Initial Allocation	WITHDRAWN	2005-03	Address Policy Working Group	June 2006
Summary: The proposal is to change the IPv6 Initial Allocation criteria outlined in the "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy". The proposed change is to remove "have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other organisations within two years" and to remove the reference to "/48s" as the assignment size. Reason for Withdrawal: Withdrawn by proposer who thought this proposal is superceded by 2006-02, IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy.
IP Assignments for Anycasting DNS	ACCEPTED	2005-02	Address Policy Working Group	September 2006
Summary: To enable country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) and global Top Level Domain (gTLD) name server operators to provide their DNS service using shared unicast technology, RIPE NCC may assign one IPv4 and/or one IPv6 prefix to each TLD operator.
HD-ratio Proposal	WITHDRAWN	2005-01	Address Policy Working Group	May 2006
Summary: The proposal is to change the further allocation criteria for IPv4 as described in ripe-324: "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region". Reason for Withdrawal: Withdrawn by proposer who felt that as there had been a number of objections, consensus had not been reached.
