Short content description
-------------------------

A new document, ripe-136++ is now available in the RIPE document
store. The contents of the first five sections of this document
regarding the policies and procedures for the distribution of public
IP address space in Europe and surrounding areas, were approved by the
RIPE community during the RIPE-23 meeting held in January 1996.

This document is an updated version of the original ripe-136 document
with sections added on Internet Registry operations, AS number
assignment procedures and Routing Registry policies and procedures. A
table has also been added to section 5 to give a quick overview of
reverse delegation procedures. Other changes made to the first five
sections are minor.

Please review this document and send your comments to me or to the
lir-wg by 12 July, 1996. We will then review the comments and
incorporate them before we officially publish the document.
