Dear Colleagues, The RIPE policy “IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region” has been updated to align with the implementation of NWI4, done in Whois release 1.112, which added the option to change the status of an IPv4 allocation object in the RIPE Database from “ALLOCATED PA” to “ALLOCATED-ASSIGNED PA” when the whole address space is assigned to the LIR infrastructure or for use by an End User with services provided by the issuing LIR. The new document is called ripe-826 and is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-826/ Please note that also the following has been updated: 1) In the Abstract: The link to the webpage where to find information on the Address Policy WG from https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap to https://www.ripe.net/community/wg/active-wg/ap/ 2) In 1.1 Scope: The link to the webpage listing the RIPE community’s policies: from https://www.ripe.net/ripe-policies to https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-policies/ 3) In 5.3 Sub-Allocations The option to ask for a conversion of PI to PA via LIR Portal has been added. Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC
