Early Registration Transfer Project

Dear Colleagues,

Prior to the formation of the RIPE NCC, all Internet resources
were issued by the InterNIC and its predecessors, based in the
USA. The RIPE community has decided to transfer registrations
of resources used in the RIPE NCC Service Region to the RIPE
Whois Database.

Initially we will transfer Autonomous System Number registrations.
The work will start on 21 August 2002, with the transfer of ASN
records. Contacts for all registrations to be transferred will
be notified by a separate e-mail detailing the process.

A brief report on the results of the transfer process will be made
at RIPE 43 in Rhodes. During and after the RIPE 43 meeting there
will be the opportunity to discuss any issues that may arise
from the transfer of IPv4 registrations.

A complete list of ASN registrations being transferred and details
of the transfer process are available from our web site at:

In the meantime should you have any further questions please
contact us at: <er-transfer at ripe.net>

Kind regards,

Joao Damas
