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

A new document, ripe-147, is now available in the RIPE document
store. This document contains the Autonomous System Number form. The
same document also contains supporting notes with step by step
instructions on filling out the form. The document is an updated
version of the ripe-109 form. The main change is that a multihomed
routing policy is now required before an AS number can be assigned,
and the "mnt-by:" attribute is mandatory.
