The European Internet Registry System

Dear IRs,

we are about to circulate the long overdue revisions of 
ripe-72 and ripe-85. Shortly there will also be a new document
titled "The European Internet Registry System" giving general information
about the European Internet Registry framework. This will be targeted 
to give new people background information and explain terminology:
IR, regional IR, Local IR: provider, last-resort ...

Assuming there is general consensus about the content I would like
to publish those documents by December 6th. Otherwise they will have to
wait until the January RIPE meeting. I hope this won't be necessary
though because the old docs are really in need of revision.

Daniel
