[policy-announce] 2013-03 New Draft Document and Impact Analysis Published (No Need - Post-Depletion Reality Adjustment and Clean up)

Dear colleagues, 

The second version of the draft document for the policy proposal
2013-03 has been published, along with an impact analysis carried out
by the RIPE NCC.

Noteworthy changes in this version include: 

- Text that suggested contractual requirements are only "recommended"
  for PI space (section 7.0) has been removed. This text was dependent
  on previously established context discussing PI vs PA space. As
  version 1.0 of the proposal removed the PI discussion in the
  preceding paragraphs, the resulting lack of context made the
  sentence confusing. The statement was also incorrect, as contractual
  requirements have been mandatory for PI space since 2007-01 was
  accepted.

- Additional wording has been added to explicitly state that PI space
  cannot be reassigned or further assigned to other parties (see
  section 7.0 for ASSIGNED PI).

- The third point from the last /8 policy (section 5.1) has been
  removed, as this is considered a meaningless circular reference by
  the author.

- General re-wording in some sections for improved readability.

- The policy proposal 2012-03 has been withdrawn, so the related
  argument against the proposal has been removed from the rationale.

We encourage you to read the draft document text and send any comments
to <address-policy-wg at ripe.net> before 30 July 2013.
