AW: [address-policy-wg] 2009-01, Global Policy for the allocation of IPv4 blocks to Regional Internet Registries
by Marcus.Gerdon 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

I don't think the situation's that different. I case ARIN's going to adopt the '*may* return to IANA' version I definitely see no sense in any other RIR implementing a *must*. Quite to the contrary. In this part I've to somewhat agree with Randy and unfortunately have to raise the question why we should return any addresses to IANA if ARIN decides to keep everything for themselves (with quite a bunch of legacy /8's being handled there). Marcus > Exactly. And that part of the policy is still common. So even if ARIN > changes the conditions under which they decide to return addresses to > the pool for the common good, the policy can still go forward for > adoption as a global policy.

by Ingrid Wijte 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Dear Colleagues, In my previous emails regarding the two accepted policy proposals (2009-06 and 2009-08) I overlooked to add information regarding approximate implementation timelines. We expect to be able to implement 2009-06 (Removing Routing Requirements from the IPv6 Address Allocation Policy) within one month and 2009-08 (IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignments for LIRs) within three months. Regards Ingrid Wijte Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

This time, we the following three time slots: Wednesday, Oct 7, 09:00 - 10:30 Wednesday, Oct 7, 11:00 - 12:30 Thursday, Oct 8, 14:00 - 15:30 The exact time lines depend a bit on how much discussion is going on, so we might move items one time slot "up" or "down". If you have anything else you want to see on the agenda, or of we need to change anything, please let us know. The agenda is fairly lightly loaded so far, especially for the Thursday time slot, all we have is "if you have something in mind that needs discussion, this is the place to go".

PDP Number: 2009-07 Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks (ASNs) to Regional Internet Registries Dear Colleagues, Consensus has been reached, and the proposal described in 2009-07 has been accepted by the RIPE community.

ripe471 - language query
by David Freedman 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just a quick query w.r.t the ripe471 document relating to a conversation I had with another registry today who were confused by the use of the language: Section 5.3 (Additional Allocations) states: "An LIR may receive an additional allocation when about eighty percent (80%) of all the address space currently allocated to it is used in valid assignments or sub-allocations." Whereas Section 5.4 (Sub Allocations) states: "LIRs are still required to demonstrate about 80% usage for all their allocations." The question is therefore, do we mean: - - That all the address space currently allocated to the registry should be summed and if the registry consumes more than 80% of this they qualify for an additional allocation or - - That all allocations the registry has must each consume more than 80% before the registry qualifies for an additional allocation. and if so, could the language in the document be cleaned up to avoid such ambiguity?

Decision regarding 2009-08
by Gert Doering 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Dear address policy WG, one of our policy proposals (2009-08, IPv6 PI assignments for LIRs) has reached the end of the "last call" phase, and is now being discussed among the chairs of all working groups to decide whether the RIPE policy process has been properly followed, and whether consensus has been reached. The APWG chairs have decided that consensus has been reached, but the amount of participation from the WG was small enough that this was a difficult decision. - at the RIPE meeting, there was support for moving in this direction - in the discussion and review phases, there were 3 e-mails stating explicit support. One e-mail stated non-support, but that was referring to another mail with questions about the proposal, so it was a bit unclear on what exactly the "non-support" referred to. - during last call phase, there was exactly 1 (one) e-mail on the list, and that e-mail was a question regarding the proposal. We, as the WG chairs, think that the change proposed is useful to have a more workable policy for "real world" networks. Thus we have decided to move forward, even if the amount of participation was a bit low. In general, we really need to see a few more voices in the various phases - otherwise it's really hard to claim consensus. (Which means that we, as the WG chairs, will have to be a bit more proactive in getting responses out of YOU...). regards, Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 141055 SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.

Re: [address-policy-wg] 2009-08 Last Call for Comments (IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignments for LIRs)
by IP-Office KPN 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

All, I support the general idea of the proposal, but I have some questions: The proposal states that (last paragraph): "If an organisation already received a PI assignment before becoming an LIR, the PI assignment should be returned upon receiving an IPv6 allocation if there are no specific routing requirements to justify both." First question: Only in this last paragraph of the proposal there is mention of "PI assignment" as opposed to "IPv6 assignment". Was this done intentionally? Second question: Is it (therefore) not possible to become a LIR and just keep the PI assignment instead of asking for a IPv6 PA allocation? I can imagine that if an organisation doesn't want to have Independent Assignment Request and Maintenance Agreements with LIRs, instead of entering into a End User Assignment Agreement with RIPE, the organisation wishes to become a LIR (same costs, more service) while wanting to keep the previously assigned PI space (and public AS number). Third question: Also, (just to be sure) as this Policy document exclusively deals with IPv6, does this policy proposal also have impact on the IPv4 PI space an organisation already has when it wants to become an LIR?
