[ncc-announce] Reduction in IPv4 Allocation/Assignment Time Period

Dear Colleagues,

 From Thursday, 1 July 2010, the RIPE NCC will start to allocate
enough IPv4 address space to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) to meet
their needs for a period of up to nine months.

The RIPE NCC and the LIRs will also start to assign enough address
space to meet the requester needs for a period of up to nine months.

We ask that you please note this change from the current 12-month
period.

This change is in accordance with RIPE Policy Proposal 2009-03, "Run
Out Fairly".

The full text of the policy proposal can be found at:
http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2009-03.html

The following RIPE Documents have been updated to reflect this policy
implementation:
