Revised RIPE Document Announcement -------------------------------------- A revised/new document is available from the RIPE document store. Ref: ripe-136++ Title: European Internet Registry Policies and Procedures Author: Local IR Working Group Date: 19 June 1996 Format: PS=923189 TXT=209542 bytes Obsoletes: ripe-104, ripe-105 Short content description ------------------------- A new document, ripe-136++ is now available in the RIPE document store. The contents of the first five sections of this document regarding the policies and procedures for the distribution of public IP address space in Europe and surrounding areas, were approved by the RIPE community during the RIPE-23 meeting held in January 1996. This document is an updated version of the original ripe-136 document with sections added on Internet Registry operations, AS number assignment procedures and Routing Registry policies and procedures. A table has also been added to section 5 to give a quick overview of reverse delegation procedures. Other changes made to the first five sections are minor. Please review this document and send your comments to me or to the lir-wg by 12 July, 1996. We will then review the comments and incorporate them before we officially publish the document.
