[address-policy-wg] Change of Minumum IPv4 Allocation Size

[Filiz Yilmaz <]

Dear Colleagues,

The final date for comments on the "Last Call" on the proposal to
change the minimum IPv4 allocation size to /21 ended on 22 December 
2003.

There were no comments made therefore we will implement this policy
change on 1 January 2004.

Please note that there will be two changes. Firstly, the minimum
IPv4 allocation size is /21. Secondly, it is no longer required to
demonstrate efficient utilisation of a /22.
  
Our supporting documentation and software will be updated as soon as
possible.
  
Please note that /21 allocations will only come from the 83.0.0.0/8
and 84.0.0.0/8 blocks. A full listing of the "Smallest RIPE NCC
Allocation / Assignment Sizes" can be found at:
