Dear colleagues,
When reading my answer from yesterday I see I could have been more
precise, please see my clarification inline below.

Hi Denis,
I hope the following answers your questions:
Q. What was the policy in 2019 regarding /22 allocations? Was it a
free for all?
A. From 14 September 2012 to 18 September 2019, the first IPv4
allocation size was limited to a maximum of a single /22 or the
equivalent for each LIR, as per ripe-509 which was implemented in
January 2011:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-509#----use-of-last----for-pa-allocations
Through this policy, only LIRs without an IPv4 allocation from the
RIPE NCC could request a /22 and they had to provide their intention
of making assignments from the allocation.
Clarification: Through this policy, only LIRs that did not receive an
IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC after 14/09/2012 could request a /22
and they had to provide their intention of making assignments from the
allocation.
As a side note, the requirement to hold an IPv6 allocation before
requesting a /22 IPv4 allocation was removed in March 2015, as per
ripe-632:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-632#51
Q. When was the waiting list implemented?
Q. When was the allocation size dropped to /24?
A. The waiting list was introduced and the IPv4 allocation size
reduced from a /22 to /24 on 19 September 2019, as per ripe-725:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-725#51bis
Ripe-725 was activated the moment the RIPE NCC could no longer
allocate a /22 IPv4 allocation (single range or equivalent) from its
IPv4 free pool.
Through this policy, the requirement to make assignments from an
allocation was removed and only LIRs without an IPv4 allocation could
request a /24 IPv4 allocation via the waiting list.
Clarification: Through this policy, the LIR's confirmation of the
intention to make assignments from an allocation was removed and only
LIRs without an IPv4 allocation could request a /24 IPv4 allocation via
the waiting list.
Kind regards,
Angela
