New/Revised RIPE Document Announcement -------------------------------------- A revised/new document is available from the RIPE document store. Ref: ripe-185 Title: European Internet Registry Policies and Procedures Author: RIPE Local Internet Registry Working Group Date: 26 October 1998 Obsoletes: ripe-159 Obsoleted by: Updates: Updated by: Short content description ------------------------- This document is an update to ripe-159, the European Internet Registry Policies and Procedures document. It includes policy changes agreed upon by the LIR working group and the local-ir mailing list. The main change is that an allocation only needs to be 80% used up before requesting a new one (used to be 90%). There are also minor changes to make the text in the document clearer, and to include better examples. These changes were circulated to the local-ir list several weeks ago.
