Dear colleagues, We wanted to update you on our implementation of the policy proposal 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources". We have made good progress so far on what has been one of the most substantial policy changes ever implemented by the RIPE NCC. Most of the updates to our internal processes and software have been finalised, as have the processes that require interaction with the other RIRs. During the implementation we encountered some additional complexity in the transfer process. To compensate for this, we are developing additional software automation to ensure the quality of registration data is maintained. We now therefore expect the implementation to be finished before the end of September. The policy implementation status has been updated accordingly, and you can find this here: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/policy-implemen... We will send another announcement once the implementation has been completed. Kind regards Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
