Dear colleagues, The results of the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 identified resource requests as an area for improvement, and we have received feedback from new LIRs about difficulties with the process of becoming a member and requesting Internet number resources. We believe there is a lot we can do to simplify things, so we are currently working to improve the request forms in the LIR Portal. The goal is to make it easier for members to request resources while streamlining our own internal processes. On Monday, 28 July 2014, we will begin updating the following request forms in the LIR Portal: - IPv4 First Allocation - IPv4 Additional Allocation - IPv6 First Allocation This will be followed by improvements to the other request forms (ASN, IPv6 PI and IXP) over the following two months. There will be no service interruptions at any time and the request forms will remain available throughout this process. We look forward to hearing what you think about the new forms once they become available. Please contact us at <lir-help@ripe.net> with any questions, feedback or concerns you might have so that we can continue to improve our processes. Kind regards, Marisol Estrada Registration Services RIPE NCC
