Policy Proposals
- Global Policy State in RIPE PDP
-
2010-03: This proposal would have modified the RIPE Policy Development Process to create a new state that is specific to global policies. This state was "Accepted pending consensus in other RIR communities." This would have allowed a global policy to be further discussed in the event that modifications are made in other RIR communities after acceptance in RIPE
- Using the Resource Public Key Infrastructure to Construct Validated IRR Data
-
2008-04: This is a proposal to introduce a new registry that augments IRR data with the formally verifiable trust model of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) and provide ISPs with the tools to generate an overlay to the IRR which is much more strongly trustable.
- IPv4 Allocation and Assignments to Facilitate IPv6 Deployment
-
2009-04: The last IPv4 /8 that the RIPE NCC will hold is proposed to be dedicated to facilitate deployment of IPv6. Allocations and assignments from this block will be made based on demonstrated need, but the size will be downscaled taking into account existing transition technologies (for example dual-stack lite, NAT464, successors of NAT-PT). The proposed minimum allocation size is to be a /27 for such allocations and assignments.
- Use of final /8
-
2008-06: This proposal describes how RIPE NCC should make allocations from its last /8 worth of address space at the time of total depletion of the IANA free pool.
- IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignments for LIRs
-
2009-08: This proposal is to allow LIRs to receive IPv6 PI assignments in addition to an IPv6 allocation.
- Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks (ASNs) to Regional Internet Registries
-
2009-07: According to the current global policy (ripe-416), IANA will cease to make any distinction between 16 bit and 32-bit only ASN blocks by 31 December 2009, when making allocations to RIRs. This proposal is to extend this date by one year, to 31 December 2010
- Multiple IPv6 /32 Allocations for LIRs
-
2009-05: This is a proposal to allow an LIR operating separate networks in unconnected geographical areas to receive multiple /32 IPv6 allocations.
- Provider Independent (PI) IPv6 Assignments for End User Organisations
-
2006-01: This proposal introduced a solution for organisations that needed IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) address space.
- ASPLAIN Format for the Registration of 4-byte ASNs
-
2008-09: This proposal seeks to modify the current policy document 'Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies and Procedures' to adopt the use of ASPLAIN for recording and representation of 4-byte AS Numbers.
- IPv6 ULA-Central
-
2007-05: This policy is intended to allow the assignment of IPv6 blocks within the so-called 'Centrally Assigned Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses' to organisations or individuals requiring it. These addresses are globally unique and intended for local communications, usually within a site or set of them and are not expected to be routable on the global Internet. Prefix FC00::/7 is already reserved by IANA for ULA (bit 8 determines if locally or centrally assigned, so ULA or ULA-Central).
