2023-04 Review Phase (Add AGGREGATED-BY-LIR status for IPv4 PA assignments)
by Angela Dall'Ara 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Dear colleagues, Policy proposal 2023-04, “Add AGGREGATED-BY-LIR status for IPv4 PA assignments”, is now in the Review Phase. The goal of this proposal is to introduce the AGGREGATED-BY-LIR status for IPv4 PA assignments to reduce LIR efforts in registration and maintenance. This proposal has been updated and it is now at version 2.0. The proposed policy text did not change, the only difference is that the section "Arguments opposing the proposal" includes a reference to the last round of discussion. The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis on this proposal to support the community’s discussion. You can find the proposal and impact analysis at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-04 https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-04#impact-analysis And the draft document at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-04/draft As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four-week Review Phase is to continue the discussion of the proposal taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to review the full draft RIPE Policy Document. At the end of the Review Phase, the Working Group (WG) Chairs will determine whether the WG has reached rough consensus. It is therefore important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of your input from the previous phase. We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft document and to send any comments to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net before 20 December 2023. Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC

Update on AS Number Assignments - Transitioning to Policy Compliance
by Marco Schmidt 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Dear colleagues, During the RIPE 87 Address Policy working group session yesterday, I presented the topic of AS Number assignments, specifically addressing a policy in place since 2010. According to this policy, assignments should be made from an undifferentiated 32-bit AS Number allocation pool. https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-679#ASnumbers Before this policy became active in 2010, the Address Policy WG recognized that many providers were not ready to exclusively work with 32-bit ASNs, mostly due to technical constraints. A verbal consensus in 2009 suggested that the RIPE NCC would temporarily continue using two pools of 16-bit and 32-bit AS Numbers. The plan was to attempt to extend the global policy by 12 months, but this effort was never undertaken. To date, the RIPE NCC remains the only Regional Internet Registry (RIR) employing this temporary approach. Observing that other RIRs have successfully issued AS Numbers from an undifferentiated pool for many years without technical challenges for operators, the RIPE NCC plans to phase out the current temporary approach. The intention is to align with the policy and issue AS Numbers accordingly. No objections were raised during the working group session. However, for transparency, we want to inform working group members who couldn't attend the RIPE meeting. The presentation can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/Zoq4PpqlaK4?t=1797 Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Manager Registration Services RIPE NCC

by Leo Vegoda 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear WG, You will have seen the recent announcement that James Kennedy has joined the RIPE NCC as Chief Registry Officer. He's stepping down from his community leadership roles, including as co-chair of the Address Policy WG. Because we still have two co-chairs there is no immediate need to recruit a replacement. Instead, we'd like to encourage anyone considering joining the team to contact us to discuss what is involved. You can write to us and we can schedule a call. You can also approach us at RIPE 87 in Rome. Kind regards, Leo & Erik Address Policy WG Co-Chairs

by Antony Gollan 24 Nov '23

24 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, Four years after our IPv4 waiting list became active, and with more than a thousand LIRs in the queue for an allocation, how successful has the list been at providing at least a minimal amount of IPv4 space to newcomers? We take a closer look at some of the numbers in this article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/author/antony_gollan/whos-waiting-on-the-ipv4-waiting… Regards Antony Gollan Communications Team Manager RIPE NCC
