[address-policy-wg] 2013-03 Proposal Accepted (Post Depletion Adjustment of Procedures to Match Policy Objectives, and Clean-up of Obsolete Policy Text)

Dear colleagues,

Thank you for your queries.

The RIPE NCC is now applying the new policy described in the updated 
RIPE Document, “IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the 
RIPE NCC Service Region”. LIRs may update their processes accordingly.

While the new policy now applies, there will be an implementation period 
as we update our own internal processes and procedures. As the new 
policy makes a big change to the way the RIPE NCC handles IPv4, this 
will mean updating our supporting software and documentation, and 
reviewing how we ensure correct registrations and explain our processes 
externally.

Implementing the new policy will also mean updating the forms that LIRs 
send in to the RIPE NCC. This will take some time, and so for now, while 
the evaluation criteria are new, the processes will remain the same.

The RIPE NCC will send another announcement when the implementation is 
complete and the new forms and procedures are in place.

We hope this answers your questions.

Kind regards

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
RIPE NCC
