[address-policy-wg] 2013-03 Proposal Accepted (Post Depletion Adjustment of Procedures to Match Policy Objectives, and Clean-up of Obsolete Policy Text)

Dear colleagues,


Consensus has been reached, and the proposal for a change to RIPE Document 
ripe-599, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC 
Service Region", has been accepted by the RIPE community.


You can find the full proposal at:

	https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-03

The new RIPE Document is called ripe-604 and is available at:

	https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-604


The RIPE NCC has already begun preparations to implement this policy proposal, 
which will require updating many internal and external procedures and related 
tools to ensure we continue to provide efficient service. 
We estimate it may take up to three months to make these changes and fully 
implement the policy proposal. In the meantime, the current procedures will 
remain in effect. The RIPE NCC will send another announcement once the implementation 
is complete and the new procedures are in place.


Thank you to everyone who provided input.

Regards

Marco Schmidt
Policy Development Officer
RIPE NCC
