Dear colleagues,
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are pleased to announce that the accepted RIPE Policy
Proposal 2014-01, "Abandoning the Minimum Allocation Size for
IPv4", has now been implemented.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The full policy proposal can be found at:</div>
<div><a href="http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-01">http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-01</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The new RIPE Document, ripe-622, "IPv4 Address Allocation and
Assignment Policy", is available at:</div>
<div><a href="https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-622/">https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-622/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Please
note that we republished the RIPE Document, "IPv4 Address
Allocation and Assignment Policy”, because it was originally
published with a small error. </span><br>
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The new,
correct document is ripe-622, which</span><span
style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> deprecates
ripe-621.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As per section 5.5 of this new RIPE Document, Local Internet
Registries (LIRs) are now allowed to transfer allocated Provider
Aggregatable (PA) address space to other LIRs, regardless of the
size of the allocations:</div>

<div>The RIPE NCC will continue to issue /22 allocations, as per
section 5.1:</div>
