The new document is called ripe-826 and is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-826/ Please note that also the following has been updated: 1) In the Abstract: The link to the webpage where to find information on the Address Policy WG from https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap to  https://www.ripe.net/community/wg/active-wg/ap/ 2) In 1.1 Scope: The link to the webpage listing the RIPE community’s policies: from https://www.ripe.net/ripe-policies to https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-policies/ 3) In 5.3 Sub-Allocations The option to ask for a conversion of PI to PA via LIR Portal has been added.
