Dear Colleagues,

As previously announced, a draft RIPE Policy Document, "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies and Procedures", was published, removing all reference to the previous AS Number registration format (ASDOT). This update was proposed following the publication of RFC5396:
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc5396.txt

This review period for this draft document has now concluded, and the updated RIPE Policy Document, "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies and Procedures", has been published. You can find this document at:

Thank you for your input.

Kind regards,

Filiz Yilmaz
Policy Development Officer
