[policy-announce] 2016-05 Proposal Accepted (Synchronising the Initial and Subsequent IPv6 Allocation Policies)

Dear colleagues,

Consensus has been reached on 2016-05,
"Synchronising the Initial and Subsequent IPv6 Allocation Policies".

This policy change matches the subsequent IPv6 allocation requirements
with the initial allocation requirements. In addition to the existing
justification based on past utilisation, it is now also possible to
document new needs, including the number of users, the extent of the 
organisation's
infrastructure, the hierarchical and geographical structuring of
the organisation, the segmentation of infrastructure for security and
the planned longevity of the allocation.

You can find the full proposal at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2016-05

The new RIPE Document is ripe-684 and is available at:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-684

We estimate that this proposal will take around two weeks to fully 
implement.

We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete
and the new procedures are in place.

Thank you to everyone who provided input.

Kind regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
