* nick at inex.ie (Nick Hilliard) [Sun 16 Sep 2012, 21:10 CEST]: [..] >There are a couple of options for dealing with this: > >1. specify new time limits (e.g. receive one month in advance, hand >back one week after) I understand that the choice for a /13 to set aside for this was based on the ability to fulfill all temporary IP address space requests. Extending the time period would make this cramped, I presume. >2. don't specify time limits but allow the IPRAs to have discretion >on what seems sensible to them This sounds good on paper but will in practice just lead to requestors going "But you gave them <points at otherconf> a month, why me only a week?!" which is good for neither IPRAs nor applicants. In effect it'll end up being just like a less overt #1. >3. keep the current time limits but ask the RIPE NCC whether it >would be possible to implement a booking system. I.e. your >assignment would only be active during the requested time period, >but you would know well in advance what the options were. This isn't a good choice either but may be the least-bad of all three. Having the ASN available earlier would help somewhat with ensuring routability as IRRdb's can be updated; having the IP blocks known will help too, even if they're not yet assigned. >If anyone has opinions on which of these they prefer (or any other >suggestions on how to deal with the issue), can you either post here >or let me know off-list and I'll summarise at RIPE65 in advance of >posting a policy amendment for ripe-526 shortly after the meeting? Lengthening the lease time for temporary ASNs separately from IP number resources should be an option. A hobby gives me a vested interest in #1 so rather foolishly I hope more space can be made available to satisfy community needs, but it would already help to have the ASN and know other numbers earlier. -- Niels. --
