Dear Colleagues, We previously announced that the policy proposal 2007-04, "IANA Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to RIRs" had been accepted by the RIPE community. This policy has now been published as a RIPE Document: ripe-416, "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to Regional Internet Registries" You can find this document at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-416.html Please note that this is a global policy and will therefore come into effect only after it has been accepted as a policy in all other RIR regions and then ratified by ICANN. Kind regards, Filiz Yilmaz RIPE NCC Policy Development Officer
