Authors consider that we have reached a fair consensus on these points. <br><br>Many contributions on the list suggested that the maximum of allocation/assignment size be set to lower than /15. Many others were however of the opinion of the authors. Therefore, we believe that /15 is a good compromise which serves the best, the interest of the community at large. <br><br>So we call for consensus on the /15.<br><br>We received many comments and queries on-list and off-list about limiting the number of additional requests from a member during phase 1. Phase 2 having provisions for new comers and critical Internet Infrastructures.<br><br>Concerns were that considering the current rate of allocation, Phase 1 may not last as expected.<br><br>in 2014,AFRINIC issued 46,603 /24 IPv4 (11,930,368 IPs), 0.711105347 /8<br>In 2015, AFRINIC issued 65,959 /24 IPv4 (16,885,504 IPs),1.006454468 /8<br>in 2016 (30 March 2016), AFRINIC issued 18,820 /24 IPv4 (4,817,920 IPs), 0.28717041 /8<br><br>As said before, this policy proposal tries to stay in the spirit of "IPv4 Soft Landing Policy? which did not set limit of number of additional allocations/assignments to a member during the exhaustion as our region is emerging and AFRINIC is the RIR which distributed the least of IPV4. It just reduced the allocation/assignment period of 12 months to 8 months to only satisfy short and mid-term needs. <br><br>To accommodate this request, we suggest the following change to the phase1 allocation criteria:<br><br>Phase 1<br><br>- Maximum allocation/assignment size is /15<br>- There is no explicit limit on the number of times an organisation may request additional IPv4 address space,<br>"but the total of allocation/assignment to a member shall not exceed /15?<br><br>Phase 2<br><br>No change<br><br>We would like to hear the community views on this.<br><br><br>Thanks<br><br>?Alain(on behalf of the Authors)<br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Subject: Digest Footer<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>RPD mailing list<br>RPD@afrinic.net<br>https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/rpd<br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>End of RPD Digest, Vol 114, Issue 5<br>***********************************<br></body></html>
