PDP Number: 2008-09 ASPLAIN Format for the Registration of 4-byte ASNs

Dear Colleagues,

The proposal 2008-09, "ASPLAIN Format for the Registration of 4-byte ASNs", has been withdrawn. It is now archived and can be found at:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-09.html

Given the recent publication of RFC 5396, the proposer and the Address Policy WG Chairs have agreed that there is no need to keep 2008-09 in the RIPE Policy Development Process. RFC 5396 can be found at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc5396.txt

Following feedback received in RIPE 57, the Address Policy WG Chairs have also concluded that the current RIPE Policy Document ripe-389, "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies and Procedures", will be updated so that the reference to the previous registration format is deleted from the policy document.

We have now published a draft RIPE Policy Document, in which the changes are marked:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/ripe-389-draft-2008-09.html

We encourage you to read this document and, if you have any comments, send them to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 12 March 2009.

After this date we will publish the draft document as a RIPE Policy Document.

A further announcement will be made shortly regarding the full implementation of the ASPLAIN registration format for 32-bit AS Numbers by the RIPE NCC.

Regards,

Filiz Yilmaz Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
