Short content description
-------------------------
The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the publication of the updated RIPE 
IPv4 policy document, IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for 
the RIPE NCC Service Region (ripe-288).

The revised document includes the following major updates:

- Recent policy changes have been incorporated, including the policy
  allowing assignments for Internet experiments and the sub-allocation
  policy.

- The explanation of how to use the database has been removed as a separate 
  "RIPE Database User Manual: Getting Started" (ripe-253) was published in 
  September 2002.

- The document now incorporates the text from "Provider Independent vs  
  Provider Aggregatable Address Space" (ripe-127).

- The document now specifies database registration requirements.

Following comments from the community, the wording of the document has also 
been improved to clarify the policy.
