Clarification: Through this policy, only LIRs that did not receive an IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC after 14/09/2012 could request a /22 and they had to provide their intention of making assignments from the allocation. > As a side note, the requirement to hold an IPv6 allocation before > requesting a /22 IPv4 allocation was removed in March 2015, as per > ripe-632: > https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-632#51 > > > Q.

Clarification: Through this policy, the LIR's confirmation of the intention to make assignments from an allocation was removed and only LIRs without an IPv4 allocation could request a /24 IPv4 allocation via the waiting list. > > Kind regards, > Angela > -- Angela Dall'Ara RIPE NCC Policy Officer
