Dear colleagues,
Consensus has been reached, and the proposal for a change to ripe-589,
"IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy", has been accepted by
the RIPE community.
This policy change allows the transfer of IPv6 allocations and
IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments within the RIPE NCC service region.
You can find the full proposal at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-12
The new RIPE Document is called ripe-641 and is available at:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-641
Given the similarity of this policy to the recently accepted
Policy Proposal 2014-13, "Allow AS Number Transfers", the RIPE NCC will
implement both policy changes together.
This is a more efficient execution of the policy implementation process
and will lead to an extension of only two weeks to the initial estimated
implementation period. We therefore estimate that to fully implement
both proposals together will take three and a half months in total.
Details of the implementation status are available at:
https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/resource-management/policy-implementation-status
We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete and
the new procedures are in place.
Thank you to everyone who provided their input.
Regards,
Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
RIPE NCC
