Working Group:
Test Traffic Working Group
Summary: A proposal to add testing of multicast connectivity between the RIPE NCC Test Traffic boxes that are connected to multicast-capable networks.

Reason for Withdrawal: During the discussion phase, the working group decided that the RIPE NCC should do the work and that there was no need to complete the full PDP cycle for this proposal.
Archived Date:

Working Group:

Working Group:
Address Policy Working Group

Summary: There are various terms for "end-site" in the IPv6 allocation and assignment policy (ripe-267) and the RFC3177. We need to have a final definition for "End-Site" to establish clear internal assignment policies.

Reason for Withdrawal: During discussions the proposer decided that the proposal was no longer necessary.

Working Group:

Working Group:
Address Policy Working Group
Summary: To modify the policy document text to reflect full recognition of AFRINIC as a functioning RIR.

Working Group:
Address Policy Working Group
Summary: Our AS assignment policy has the following statement in it - "The RIPE NCC assigns AS Numbers for Autonomous Systems located in the RIPE NCC service region". Neither the IPv4 nor the IPv6 policy documents have such a clear statement in them. It might be a good idea to add a similar statement to those documents when they are updated.

Reason for Withdrawal: The proposer decided to withdraw this proposal.
