Dear Contributors and Local-IRs, Since there have been no objections at all, time-permtting service has been abandoned as of this week. The RIPE NCC will from now on provide registration services only to established local registries in good standing. This has been announced at the RIPE meeting last week. Individuals requesting address space will be referred to their service provider and/or the list of local registries. Service providers requesting address space will be informed about how they can establish a local IR and/or be referred to their upstream providers. We will notify all those who have time-permitting requests pending. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Regards Daniel Karrenberg RIPE NCC Manager
