Dear Axel, Working Group; The "IANA Policies for Allocation of IPv4 Blocks to RIRs" proposal was presented at the last working group meeting and has been circulated to the list for further comments and discussion. After carefully considering all comments posted to the list and a following email discussion among the working group chairs, I would like to formally declare consensus on this policy in the RIPE NCC service region. As it is now 1 -one- month after the deadline for comments there should have been ample time to voice concerns to the list and no negative comments or concerns have been raised. As a personal note I would like to congratulate the RIRs with this one very important policy document. Best Regards, Hans Petter Holen Address Policy Working Group Chair |-----Original Message----- |From: address-policy-wg-admin@ripe.net |[mailto:address-policy-wg-admin@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Axel Pawlik |Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 3:11 PM |To: address-policy-wg@ripe.net |Subject: [address-policy-wg] IANA Policies for Allocation of |IPv4 Blocks to RIRs | |Dear Colleagues, | |The Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have been working |together with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority |(IANA) on a policy for the allocation of IPv4 address space to |the RIRs. | |The proposed policy was presented to the RIPE Address Policy |Working Group at RIPE 46 in September.
