Yes.  RIPE has a well-defined policy development process, which can
be used for that - it's documented here:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/pdp.html

Now, there's of course a catch - the PDP takes a while to run through
(a couple of months at best, some times much longer), and you need 
*consensus* for a proposed policy change to become policy - so you need
to convince the RIPE community that it's of common interest to change 
this.

Since we're running out of addresses quickly, even if you succeed in 
changing the policy, the subnet containing 2.2.2.2 might already be 
handed out to someone else.  So I wouldn't bet the success of my
company on the chance of receiving 2.2.2.2 - you might succeed, but 
you might as well not.
