To quote from Andrea Cima, who said the following at the last RIPE meeting (taken from stenography report at http://ripe61.ripe.net/archives/steno/13/):

"Now, with regards to transparency, what our intention is, is to publish all the RIPE NCC Registration Services procedures on?line, and in this way, it will be very clear to everyone that is requesting some resources, what is expected from them, what kind of information, we will ask or we may ask and what kind of documentation we will need. We will do this per type of ? request, per type of service and, of course, we will start with IPv4 address space resources because of the run?out situation. So this will be up on?line pretty soon from now. "

So the procedure documentation you ask for should be available soon.

Andrea: can you provide further information here?

Thanks,
Sander
