Dear Local IR's, Last week, we posted a new set of forms to be used when submitting IP address space assignment requests to the RIPE NCC for review, along with a request for comments. The forms are used to collect information as required by the policies stated in the first four sections of the ripe-104++ document. These policies were approved by the local IR working group when it met at the RIPE 23 meeting in January, 1996. We have received some useful input on the form design. In addition, we have received a number of requests that the forms be finalized and published as soon as possible. To this end, we encourage you to submit any comments or requests regarding the forms before the: Deadline for comments: May 1, 1996 Comments received after this date cannot be included in the revision. Please review the ripe-128++ document, and send your comments to this list <local-ir@ripe.net> for discussion. If your input is of an editorial nature, you can just send it to me <orange@ripe.net>. Thanks to those who have already provided useful input. Greetings, -- Carol Orange
