A revised/new document is available from the RIPE document store. 



Short content description
-------------------------
"Temporary Special Guidelines for Allocation and Assignment 
of former class A addresses":
In order to encourage a transition to the classless use of former
class A address space, the RIPE NCC proposes a temporary test period
during which Local Registries and their customers can start to use
parts of these addresses. Additional allocation and assignment
procedures will apply during this test period.
