Hi group, just one comment on the document ;
5.2.3 Renumbering
(...) A period of 3 months is generally accepted, within the RIPE community, to be enough to migrate a network from the old to the new address space. For exceptional cases where the End User requests to keep both assignments for more than three months, an agreement should be obtained from the RIPE NCC for the proposed time frame.
3 months could be enough for a end user but not for an ISP or a hosting services, specially when you need to migrate DNS servers or customers with fixed public IP addresses. I think the "default" time for a LIR should be 6 month. I took part to two renumbering precesses with two differents LIR and, both time, we needed to negotiate more time with RIPE NCC. I think it's wasted time for both parties.

Hi Tanja,
ripe-185 was published in October 1998. At RIPE 36 the RIPE Community
changed the policy so that, like the other RIRs, the minimum allocation
size is a /20. See section nine of the minutes at:
<http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/r36-minutes.html>
The IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment policy document has been
re-drafted to incorporate this and other policy changes made since
ripe-185 was published. The draft document can be obtained from our
web site at:
<http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/registration/policies/draft-documents/>
The review period for this document ends this Friday. If you have
any comments on the docuemnts up for review please send them to
lir-wg@localhost.
