from what I know the request should also have been sent to the RIPE 
NCC's email address for that very purpose, <enum-request at ripe.net>.

ITU's ad interim procedures:

http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/inr/enum/procedures-02.html

from my point of view are not really clear about the handling of an 
initial delegation request directly and _only_ sent to the ITU. However, 
they do speak about receiving such requests from the RIPE NCC which is 
in line with the instructions given to the RIPE NCC by IAB:

http://iab.org/documents/docs/2004-08-12-enum-instructions.html

Please find the RIPE NCC's How-To at:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/enum-request.html

This process is the one that AFAIK has been used for all other 
delegations so far. You may want to double-check.


Best,
