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

This announcement was originally sent to the RIPE List. We're now also
sending it to the RIPE NCC Contributors' Committee and the Local IR
list to make sure it reaches everyone necessary.

This document contains information necessary to fill in the "European
IP Address Space Request Form", ripe-141. In addition to detailed step
by step instructions, an example of a completed form is supplied. The
document also describes the new method of obtaining nic-handles. The
instructions implement the policies and procedures published in
ripe-140, "European Internet Registry Policies and Procedures" and
reflect the changes made to ripe-141.

FTP Access
----------
All RIPE documents and Internet RFC`s are available via anonymous FTP
from host ftp.ripe.net.  Type "ftp ftp.ripe.net". 

Login with username "anonymous" supplying your email address as the 
password.  After logging in, type "cd ripe/docs/" followed 
by the command "get filename". 

The relevant filenames for this document are:

Electronic Mail Retrieval of Documents
--------------------------------------
Documents can also be retrieved from the RIPE document store using a
mail server program.  For more information on how to use the program,
send email to: mail-server@localhost with "send HELP" in the body text. 

RIPE NCC Interactive Information Server

Type "telnet info.ripe.net".  This is a menu driven service allows
the document store to be browsed.  After reading documents you are
prompted as to whether you would like to receive an email copy of the
document you have just read.  If you would, you simply enter your email
