[policy-announce] 2016-03 Discussion Period extended until 15 July 2016 (Locking Down the Final /8 Policy)

Dear colleagues,

The Discussion Period for the policy proposal 2016-03, "Locking Down the 
Final /8 Policy" has been extended until 15 July 2016.

The goal of this proposal is to ban transfers of allocations made under 
the final /8 policy.

The text of the proposal has been revised based on mailing list feedback 
and we have published a new version (2.0) today.
As a result, a new Discussion Phase has started for the proposal.

Some of the differences from version 1.0 include:
- Several restrictions have been removed
- Adds a recommendation that LIRs should conserve whole or part of their 
final /22 allocation for interoperability purposes

You can find the full proposal at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2016-03

We encourage you to review this policy proposal and send your comments 
to <address-policy-wg at ripe.net>.

Regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
