Dear Colleagues

We are pleased to announce that Rob Blokzijl, RIPE Chair, has published a
new RIPE Document, "Policy Development Process in RIPE", (ripe-350).  This
document formally describes the policy development process.  The updated
process is operational from today, 1 September 2005. 

A new RIPE web page describes all the active policy proposals and their
status.  Each proposal has a page showing its history, status and all
supporting documentation.  This page can be found at:

A new mailing list policy-announce@localhost has been created for
announcing policy proposals and tracking them through the policy
development process.  This is not a discussion list; discussions will
continue to take place on relevant RIPE Working Group lists and at RIPE
Meetings.  You can subscribe to the policy-announce list at:
