Dear Colleagues, Proposal 2008-03, "Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space", was accepted by the RIPE community in September 2008. This proposal has since reached consensus in all other RIR regions and it is now also ratified by ICANN on 6 March 2009. You can find the policy documented at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-436.html Kind regards, Filiz Yilmaz Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
