Unique prefixes for all proposals
by Richard Hartmann 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi all, I am aware that this list is not ideal for my concern; I simply defaulted to the least inappropriate list. One of my pet peeves is that the RIRs use clashing naming schemes for their proposals. If someone talks about proposal 2010-1 and does not provide context, there is an unnecessary burden on people figuring out if this the RIPE's or the ARIN's proposal they are talking about. The solution is simpe: A unique prefix. Possible suggestions for prefixes include: * ripe- The obvious choice. Short, precise, lower case. A potential problem is that once ripe documents reach a certain count, there might be confusion over the proposal ripe-2020-1 vs the document ripe-2010, i.e. that there is nothing specifying that we are talking about a proposal. * ripe-proposal- Unique, but long. * ripe-draft- Unique, not 100% correct with RIPE's naming scheme, but shorter. * ripe-prop- Unique, similar to how APNIC and AfriNIC handle things. * RIPE- Unique, short, somewhat ugly, does not specify that this is a proposal. Analogous to how LACNIC handles it. I am not sure if this warrants its own proposal which is why I am simply throwing the issue out in the open to see what the community at large thinks about this issue. Personally, I would tend towards "ripe-prop-". It's reasonably short but leaves room for expansion (ripe-doc-, etc) and unification. Any and all feedback welcome :) Richard

I don't see any confusion arising >> from that and the normal document churn would take care of any potential >> confusion, anyway. >The confusion is that, for the next 25 years or so, people will be wondering what the relation is between >ripe-<foo> and ripe-doc-<bar> documents. Which one replaces which other one? >So again, please don't. A document is already have several names assigned to it (ripe-500 = Policy Development Process in RIPE) and has already put in different "categories" (Address Policy and Address Management Related Documents, Recently Published, Current Documents - concerning the ripe-500 example) and has several different meaning of access (web, ftp...). So it is not big deal to have one more "supername" near to the previous name. People who can't deal with simple understanding of "names" and "numbers" are not working with documents, explaining and regulating much more difficult and complicated things.

Agenda (second draft) for RIPE 61 in Rome
by Gert Doering 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi APWG folks, RIPE meeting orga, below you can find new draft for the RIPE address policy WG meeting's agenda, which will take place in Rome in the following three time slots: Wednesday, November 17, 09:00 - 10:30 Wednesday, November 17, 11:00 - 12:30 Thursday, November 18, 09:00 - 11:30 the main change is that I had to move Nick Hilliard's policy proposals from Thursday to Wednesday (due to conflict with EIX-WG), and then had to shuffle around the rest to form something resembling a logical structure again :-) 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".

by Emilio Madaio 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Dear Colleagues, We would like to update you on the status of RIPE Policy ripe-497 (ex proposal 2009-01), "Global Policy for the Allocation of the IPv4 blocks to Regional Internet Registries". Recently, ICANN announced that the Number Resource Organisation (NRO) Executive Council (NRO EC) deemed the global policy proposal "Global Policy for the Allocation of the IPv4 blocks to Regional Internet Registries" abandoned. This was in view of version differences in the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The ICANN announcement is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-12may09-en.htm The full text of the policy, ripe-497, is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-497.html Best regards, Emilio Madaio RIPE NCC
