Dear Gabriella, we have been working on this process, not as fast as we would have liked to, I must admit. We will start by transferring ASNs. There are fewer and simpler cases when compared with IP address blocks and it will allow everyone to get a better understanding of the real amount of work involved, rather than just having an estimate, as good as it may be. As a matter of fact, we were going to send an announcement earlier today explaining the process, which is meant to start next week, but some internal problems have prevented this from happening. A message will be posted on Monday. It would be good to have some time during the lir-wg session at RIPE 43 to present the results of the first, relatively easy, step and close any issues people may have with the more complex transfer of the IP addresses. We could then proceed with the rest of the resources soon after the discussions at the RIPE meeting and in these lists.

Any news about that?
