Invitation to particpate in a RIPE Task-Force
by Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Invitation to join and actively contribute to a RIPE Taskforce on "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE Database" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Background: The RIPE Database serves as a data repository for Internet resource assignments and allocations in the RIPE NCC's service region. Among other purposes, it serves as a contact repository for administrative, technical and operational matters regarding IP address ranges and autonomous system numbers. Over time, some mechanisms became available, such as the Incident Response Team (IRT) object and an abuse-mailbox: attribute. Different communities seem to have developed varying expectations and understanding of how the data quality for such contact information can be maintained at a high level, and how and when a report sent to such a contact mechanism will be responded to or otherwise acted upon. Recently, some RIPE Policy Proposals were submitted for consideration and these proposals (2010-08, 2010-09 and 2010-10) were discussed in the Address Policy Working Group, the Anti-Abuse Working Group and briefly in the Database Working Group during the RIPE 61 Meeting in Rome. Deliberations among the responsible working group chairs and senior policy experts suggested that investigation be carried out to get a deeper understanding of the motivations behind the policy proposals, the expected outcomes, the operational and maintenance implications and the role the RIPE Database could perform to support the desired results. It was then suggested to the community and the policy proponents that the most efficient way to progress the issue would be the creation of a RIPE Task Force. There was no objection raised by the members of the community present at the meeting. Call for Participation ----------------------- We invite members of the RIPE community, from the security as well as from the anti-abuse areas, to volunteer and contribute to the proposed task force. Ideally, we would like to bring together the security and anti-abuse communities and the IP resource management and network operations communities to jointly analyse and refine the issue. *Draft* Mandate for the Task Force ---------------------------------- [This draft mandate is for consideration, modification and refinement by the task force] The task force is mandated to: - Agree on a useful name for the task force and, with the help of the RIPE NCC, arrange the logistics and report back to the community about the establishment of the task force - Collect all relevant input that is readily available, in particular policy proposals, information from presentations given recently by the RIPE NCC regarding ideas on the future structure, credibility and quality of data, and the maintenance mechanisms for entries in the RIPE Database - Collect and document comparable mechanisms and proposals in the other RIR Regions (APNIC, AfriNIC, ARIN and LACNIC) - Work with the interested community and the RIPE NCC to understand the problem at hand and the environment in which to develop a proposal. This analysis of the environment should include legal aspects, formal responsibilities for the use of resources on the Internet, well-established operating procedures and relevant operational aspects. - Develop one or more (policy) proposals and/or general recommendations on how collection and maintainace of relevant information in the Registry Database should be organised, including a description of potentially alternative implementations or approaches and the related impact on all parties involved *Draft* Timeline ----------------- The Taskforce should: - Try to collect the core group of participants before end of February 2010 - Start work on the dedicated mailing list as soon as possible, with a view to meet for a face-to-face meeting in advance of RIPE 62 (May 2011) - Report on the task force's progress during RIPE 62 (May 2011) and collect regular input from the RIPE community - Submit a first draft of a recommendation(s) and/or policy proposal(s) before RIPE 63 - Agree on the proposal(s) and agree on the expected implementation deadline Submitting statements of intent to actively participate -------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to participate in the task force, please email the RIPE NCC's Database Manager, Paul Palse, at <ppalse(a)ripe.net>. ________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Wilfried, circulating this invitation on behalf of the group of the proponents, with kudos to the colleagues at the RIPE NCC for their help with wording!

by Erik Bais 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, I was wondering what the status is of this policy. I haven't seen any updates or feedback on this and I think that it would make a lot of sense to proceed with this proposal. For those that didn't go to the RIPE 61 meeting (like myself) or missed Nick Hilliard his preso on the topic : http://ripe61.ripe.net/presentations/318-inex-ripe-rome-apwg-minassignments… You can find the full proposal at: http://ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2006-05.html and the draft document at: http://ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/ripe-492-draft2006-05.html Regards, Erik Bais

Proposed Implementation Plan for Policy Proposal 2010-06 in the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, To prepare for the possible acceptance of RIPE Policy Proposal 2010-06, "Registration Requirements for IPv6 End User Assignments", the Database Group at the RIPE NCC proposes the following implementation plan. We will implement a new attribute ("assignment-size:") in INET6NUM objects, add some business logic for its use and add a new value (AGGREGATED-BY-LIR) for the "status:" attribute of an INET6NUM object. Schema and syntax changes in INET6NUM objects: - New attribute "assignment-size:" - Syntax is numeric value > 0 - INET6NUM object will include "assignment-size:" as an optional, single attribute - "assignment-size:" will not be an inverse searchable attribute - New value for the "status:" attribute of an INET6NUM object will be AGGREGATED-BY-LIR Business rules: - "assignment-size:" is optional in INET6NUM objects but required if "status:" is AGGREGATED-BY-LIR - The value of "assignment-size:" must be greater than the prefix size of the INET6NUM object containing the attribute - Parent status of INET6NUM object with status AGGREGATED-BY-LIR can be: ALLOCATED-BY-RIR ALLOCATED-BY-LIR AGGREGATED-BY-LIR - If parent status is AGGREGATED-BY-LIR, grandparent status cannot be AGGREGATED-BY-LIR - If an object has the status AGGREGATED-BY-LIR, a more specific object can only have the status AGGREGATED-BY-LIR (subject to the aforementioned constraints) We will prepare implementation of this plan during the week commencing 31 January 2011. It will be deployed during the week commencing 7 February 2011 should RIPE Policy Proposal 2010-06 be formally approved. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group
