[ncc-announce] [news] Policy Proposal Implemented: 2013-03, "Post Depletion Adjustment of Procedures to Match Policy Objectives, and Clean-up of Obsolete Policy Text"

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that we have implemented the policy proposal 
2013-03, "Post Depletion Adjustment of Procedures to Match Policy 
Objectives, and Clean-up of Obsolete Policy Text".

In accordance with the new policy, the RIPE NCC will no longer require 
LIRs to complete a forecast-based documentation of need when requesting 
/22 IPv4 allocations, when making assignments to End Users, or when 
requesting approval for IPv4 transfers. Accordingly, this also means 
that the "Assignment Window" is no longer applicable.

As a result, we have updated the following request forms and supporting 
notes:

- IPv4 First Allocation Request Form:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-608

- Supporting Notes For The IPv4 First Allocation Request Form:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-609

- IPv4 Additional Allocation Request Form:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-610

- Supporting Notes for the IPv4 Additional Allocation Request Form:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-611

Both the Provider Aggregatable (PA) Assignment Request Form and the 
Supporting Notes for Provider Aggregatable (PA) Assignment Request Form 
have also been removed due to this change.

RIPE NCC members can still access the list of their past assignments 
approved by the RIPE NCC as well as their Assignment Window history, 
which is available in the "Archive" section of the LIR Portal.

The IP Analyser functionality of the LIR Portal has been changed, as 
explained at:

The updated RIPE Document "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment 
Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region" is available at:
