Both are in the current policy already (see old policy text 6.1 .4). I think the changes you propose should be done in a separate policy proposal as they are an addition to this policy proposal rather than a change. > > Nevertheless RIPE has clarified how they handle the 50% issue currently (see Marco Schmidt's mail from mid May): > > > When receiving requests for more than a /24, the RIPE NCC checks that > > the IXP will need more than 50% of the assignment within one year.

I hope that answers open questions. I agree with Matthias here. Since 2023-01 does not introduce the language Nick points to I find it unreasonable to demand that this proposal should also fix any issues in that language (if they are indeed in need of fixing). This proposal aims to solve a different problem, after all, so fixing other issues is not in scope. I see no surprises in the Impact Analysis, so I reiterate my support for moving 2023-01 forward.
