[rpd] possible update to AFPUB-2026-IPv4-002-DRAFT01 "Amendment of Utilisation in Soft Landing"

[jordi.palet at consulintel.es]

Hi all,

Pending from the impact analysis, if it comes in time before the 16th, i’ve worked in a possible v2 of this policy proposal, considering the previous discussion in the list.

I’m sending this before official submission in order to seek further inputs, if they come in time before the deadline.

The text I’m proposing is:

The above requirement is waived for network operators requesting new IPv4 addresses for demonstrated key technical requirements, which can be illustrated to not be practically serviceable from existing assigned/allocated IPv4 resources – such as redundancy and high-availability sites, IPv6 transition technologies, or expansion to new sites which pose a technical constraint on their current resource pool – and in these cases, the request is treated as a first allocation or request. The request justification should be sufficiently documented, in such way that AFRINIC can verify the compliance with the provided justification.

I believe the last sentence provides a valid way to avoid abusing the policy.

I’m attaching (not sure if it will pass thru the list) a PDF of how it looks like in a comprehensive view.

Regards,
Jordi
