again: how to get an IP from EP.net

I'm a bit puzzled. Last week I filled in the form http://www.ep.net/ipadd-req.html to get an IP for PAIX-NYC. Received an automated response that the request has been submitted. No response yet after 4 or 5 days, but at http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras/ep all of a sudden our IP is listed. Is this really the official way to apply for an exchange IPv4 address (don't consider to apply ever for a IPv6 address). Or am I just too dumb to find the right track?
