[address-policy-wg] Request about homologation of policy documents

Dear RIPE friends,

I have scanned the current address policy documents and I have some
questions about homologation between a couple of topics.


There are 2 main areas of concern, which I would like to discuss:

1. Validity of RIPE-451 -  (IPv6 address space policy for IXPs.) aged
well since 2009.

   Option 1: drop this document entirely - the pointer for the document
"Obtaining the address space" (RIPE-575) is anyway outdated/obsoleted.

   Option 2: Integrate a relevant paragraph in the RIPE-738 (IPv6
address allocation and assignment policy) successor document?

   For comparison: RIPE-733 (IPv4 address ---) this area is mentioned in
Section 6.1 - mainly due to minimal resources left to use.


2. Comparing Sections 6.x from RIPE-733 (IPv4 adresses allocation and
assignment policy) with RIPE-738 (IPv6 address allocation and assignment
policy)

   There are very nice paragraphs in Section 6.2 (network
infrastructure) and 6.3 (validity of an assignment) which I miss as
counterpart in RIPE-738.


One would assume that there should somewhat similar approaches on how to
assign and document used address space.

There are also other areas that could be cleaned up (such as transfers 
- completely moved out of these documents or extended?)

Suggestion: why not keep the same section numbering for identical topics?


Best regards,

Kurt Kayser
