[address-policy-wg] RIPE Policy Proposal 2012-07 - Effect on ripe-592

Dear colleagues,

We just published a new version of RIPE Policy Proposal 2012-07, “RIPE
NCC Services to Legacy Internet Resource Holders” to the RIPE NCC
Services Working Group mailing list. One aspect of this policy proposal
is that it contains a small amendment to the existing policy document
ripe-592, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE
NCC Service Region".

Policy Proposal 2012-07 proposes to replace section 5.5 of ripe-592,
currently:

"Any LIR is allowed to re-allocate complete or partial blocks of IPv4
address space that were previously allocated to them by either the RIPE
NCC or the IANA."

with

"Any LIR is allowed to re-allocate complete or partial blocks of IPv4
address space that were previously allocated to them by the RIPE NCC or
otherwise through the Regional Internet Registry System."

This change is proposed to ensure that RIPE Policy Proposal 2012-07 is
in alignment with ripe-592.

If RIPE Policy Proposal 2012-07 is accepted by the RIPE community, it
would result in a new policy for legacy Internet resources and a small
change to the the existing RIPE Policy ripe-592.

As an existing policy would be impacted by this policy proposal, we
would like to notify the Address Policy Working Group.

If you wish to participate on the discussion, then we encourage you to
review this proposal and send your comments to
<ncc-services-wg at ripe.net>  by 8 November 2013.
