As discussed on IRC, during the preparation of 2013-03 I submitted a last-minute amendment. This amendment made it into the complete new policy document[1], but not in the side-by-side diff[2]. [1] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/other-documents/ipv4-address-allocation-and-assignment-policies-for-the-ripe-ncc-service-region-new [2] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/other-documents/ipv4-address-allocation-and-assignment-policies-for-the-ripe-ncc-service-region-current I noticed this myself, and it was corrected shortly after. This is not a complaint - I have only myself to blame for changing the proposal after all the documentation had been produced. That said, if both the current and the new proposed policy was written in a standardised plain-text[ish] format, creating the side-by-side diff page could have been a fully automated task with no risk of omissions, rather than a manual one. Just a data point... Tore
