2006-04 New Draft Document Published (Contact e-mail Address Requirements)
by Erics 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Hi Community, I´m a bit surprised to read a draft document for this proposal. If I recall the informations I got from RIPE-53 meeting - unfortunately I couldn´t be there myself - the discussion regarding the proposal 2006-04 endet with "not practicable". And this is exactly what I think about this. For bigger LIRs it is not possible to provide an e-mail address, unless this address could be the "notification-" or "changed-" address, which appears in each inetnum object anyway. If this is ment, this should appear clearer in the draft document. BTW: I´m missing the RIPE-53 address-policy-wg-minutes kind regards Eric Schmidt _________________________________________ Deutsche Telekom AG T-Com Headquarters Network Information Center Ammerlaender Heerstr. 138, D-26129 Oldenburg +49 441 234 - 4592 (phone) +49 441 234 - 4589 (fax) E-Mail: EricS(a)t-com.net <http://www.t-com.net/> http://www.t-com.net

SPAM filtering at RIPE NCC
by Brian Riddle 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, Today, we implemented measures to combat spam on our mail servers. The measures will apply to both e-mails sent to RIPE NCC mailboxes and the mailing lists hosted on ripe.net. These measures will lead to short delivery delays for some of your e-mails to us and to the mailing lists. Regards, Brian Riddle IT Manager RIPE NCC

2006-07 – Minimum IPv4 Assignment Window
by leo vegoda 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Dear Colleagues, During the Address Policy WG session at RIPE 53, we were asked to provide statistics showing - how many of the requests to make a PA assignment involve discussion with the requester; and - how much discussion takes place in those requests. We have prepared a set of statistics showing the number of rounds of messages in a ticket. Please note that tickets often include messages that are not directly related to the specific request. For instance, when an LIR is eligible for an additional allocation discussion can also occur on how to register something in the database, or we may remind them about an unpaid invoice. We looked at all the tickets where we approved PA assignments of prefixes up to and including /21 during the last three complete months of July, August and September in 2006. This was a set of 1100 tickets. The attached graph illustrates: - 80% of requests are approved immediately, or following just one exchange - 15% are approved with just two or three messages being exchanged - 4% of tickets involve a significant amount of discussion These figures show that only a small fraction of LIRs need significant assistance with their decision making. We will be able to dedicate significantly more time to this small group of LIRs if the minimum Assignment Window is raised. I hope you find these data useful when considering my proposal. The full table of results: Exchanges Tickets 0 673 1 214 2 118 3 48 4 11 5 20 7 6 8 4 11 4 12 2 An archive (available as a stream) of the RIPE 53 Address Policy WG webcast is available from our web site at: mms://webcast.ripe.net/ripe-53/ap.wmv and my presentation can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-53/presentations/ ipv4_min_aw_size.pdf Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

Allow me to disagree. As someone who regularly sends out emails to contact info as located in the various whois databases, I would rate the RIPE info at #1, followed by RADB, APNIC, ARIN and last being LACNIC (no feedback yet from AFRNIC). Some of you may have received these emails over the past 5 years about leaking private ASNs which is sent to all emails I find in whois. I find the RIPE data to be accurate and comprehensive and light years ahead of the data inside LACNIC. I also find the people contacted inside RIPE respond far quicker than those in ARIN (APNIC is even better than ARIN in that respect). So before complaining about RIPE data, best to bring the rest of the world up to the level that RIPE maintains. Regards, Hank Nussbacher http://www.interall.co.il

RE: [address-policy-wg] IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy (2006-02)
by matthew.ford＠bt.com 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

People sending comments to this list with the clear intention of supporting the adoption of new policy should take their responsibilities as stewards of the Internet's resources a little more seriously in my opinion. The proposed policy includes the following wording: "To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organisation must: ... c) have a plan for making a reasonable number of /48 assignments within two years" Define 'reasonable'. Folks need to stop focussing on getting rid of the 200 /48 assignments rule and start focussing on developing good, useful policy for the region. In the absence of a better alternative (which 2006-02 is emphatically not), then the current policy must suffice.

Comment on 2006-05 (PI Assignment Size)
by Michał Mirosław 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Hello, I support the 2006-05 proposal. We have one client who insisted on getting PI space, but they qualified for at most /27. Then we had to actually request that /27 and have them expierience what prefix filtering does to small PI networks. Alternative way to solve this would be to designate one /8 (or longer; divided among regional registries) that contained only prefixes longer than /24. It would allow for small PI's, be easy to configure filters for, and have a limited influence on global routing table size. But it would need agreement all over the internet.

IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy (2006-02)
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hi all, Same for this one ... Looking for further inputs to this policy proposal. As the discussion period for this proposal (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2006-02.html) is almost over, I will like to ask for the latest inputs in order to further decide how to proceed. Filiz arranged some stats about the discussion (thanks a lot for that !) last July, and afterwards, even if the discussion period has been extended, I don't recall having seen new comments. The stats don't include my own postings: >>> - there were 39 posts from 14 different individuals about it. >>> >>> - 8 people supported it. >>> >>> - 1 person *seemed* to be in favour of keeping the current policy. >>> >>> - 5 people made comments which I could not identify a clear support or >>> objection. So someone else will like to say anything new or clarify their view in favor or opposition to the proposal ?
