[address-policy-wg] Cosmetic Surgery Project: new revised document for Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your question. In principle, the copyright holder of 
material (document, website, etc.) is the creator of this material or 
the person whom the copyright license for this material has been given to.

A copyright holder can be a natural person or a legal person.

The RIPE NCC is the copyright holder for, among others, the RIPE NCC 
documents and the RIPE NCC website. The copyright statement "Copyright © 
1992-2009 the Réseaux Européen Network Coordination Centre RIPE NCC All 
rights restricted" refers to this kind of material.

For RIPE Policy documents, the RIPE community does not have the form of 
a legal person. Therefore, in this case, the copyright holder is the 
individual creator of each policy. This is reason for the Attribution 
section at the end of the revised document.


These topics were discussed during the presentation "Authorship of RIPE 
Policy Documents" at RIPE 60.
