I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but I do know how I
would find the answers.


The hard way to do find the answers would be to look in the RIPE
document archive:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/docs/

The easy way would be a send a mail to the RIPE NCC:

http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/email-contact.html

Some poor staff member will likely have to munge through the documents
too, but at least they will have a good idea where to start looking.


Good luck! (Hopefully you're not working for the dark side...)  ;)
