[policy-announce] 2014-05 Proposal Accepted (Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources)

Dear colleagues,

Consensus has been reached, and the policy proposal 2014-05,
"Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources" has been
accepted by the RIPE community.

You can find the full proposal at:

    https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-05


The new RIPE Document is ripe-644 and is available at:

    https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-644


The proposal also amended the policies described in the RIPE Document
"IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region".

The new RIPE Document is ripe-643 and is available at:

    https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-643


We have already begun the implementation and will start with our procedures,
including the necessary coordination with the other RIRs.

The technical implementation will start in around one month's time,
as it needs to link with the ongoing implementation of the recently accepted
IPv6 and ASN transfer policies.  

We estimate that it will take about four months to fully implement this proposal.

Details of the implementation status are available at:

https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/policy-implementation-status
 

We will send another announcement when the implementation is finished and
the new procedures are in place.

Thank you to everyone who provided their input.

Regards

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
RIPE NCC
