A revised document below European Internet Network Number Application Fo rm is available from the RIPE document store.
Ref: ripe-095 Title: European Internet Network Number Application Form Title: and Supporting Notes
Is there a major change in the contents, format or function of this documen t?
The contents has changed: - different encoding of "no email" - additional hints to document present address space usage
I'm a bit worried, about the name change from ripe-088 to ripe-095, because right now our users/customers get comfortable with the idea to just "pick u p ripe-88 from the ftp server" whenever they apply for a new Class C address. Also we would have to update all local text to refer to the new document.
We had a long sicussion about this nternally and at some ripe meeting. The coclusion was to change the number whenever the document content changes. I'd hate to change that -again-.
So I see 3 possible approaches:
- keep the ripe-document number the same unless there is a major change in content, maybe appending some version or date information [preferred]
Not preferred here.
- agree on a fixed document name both for the RIPE document store and local versions [acceptable]
That was the plan and to link it to the current one. We should do this.
- we have to store the document (and/or it's local version) with a fixed na me (different from the RIPE document id) on our system [not desirable but workable]
not at all desirable I agree.
Anybody else with strong feelings?
I bet.
