ripe-147 syntax checker

Dear all,

The RIPE NCC is happy to announce a new web-based tool available to 
our members for AS number requests.

This tool performs format- and syntax checking of AS Number requests 
as described in document ripe-147: "European Autonomous System Number 
Application Form and Supporting Notes":

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-147.html

The tool can be found at the following URL:

http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/web147cgi

The purpose of AS number request syntax checker is to enable smoother 
and more accurate processing of AS number requests, minimising lack 
of information or incorrectly completed ripe-147 forms.

Please note that this tool is only for preliminary format- and syntax 
checking of AS number requests. In order to obtain an AS number, a 
request needs to be sent to the the RIPE NCC hostmasters at 
<hostmaster at ripe.net>, where it will be processed.

We hope our members find this tool useful and we welcome any feedback 
and comments on this tool.

Kind regards,

Nurani Nimpuno
