Re: [address-policy-wg] 2012-02 New Draft Document and Impact Analysis Published (Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of IPv4 Address Space)
by Andrew de la Haye 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Dear colleagues, In order to clarify some points of the impact analysis and facilitate the current community discussion, we would like to highlight some details about the foreseen implementation activity related to the proposal 2012-02. With regards to the two points of the impact analyses that are being questioned: "C. Impact of Policy on RIPE NCC Operations/Services Registration Services: It is very relevant to note that the implementation of this policy proposal will require a significant effort of co-ordination between the RIPE NCC and the other RIRs. It is unclear at the moment how much time and resources will be needed to fully implement the proposal." If the proposal is accepted, it should be noted that the RIPE NCC service region will be the third region involved in inter-RIR transfers, after ARIN and APNIC. There already exists close coordination between the RS departments of all RIRs as an ongoing and ordinary activity, aimed at monitoring trends, issues and solutions related to the resource registration activities. This policy proposal would increase the importance and relevance of this existing coordination by broadening its scope to inter-RIR transfer resources as well. Therefore based on both ARIN's and APNIC's experience in this area the amount of effort may be somewhat reduced. Each inter-RIR transfer will consist of: - evaluation of RIPE Policy compliance - evaluation of official documentation - coordination with the other involved RIR staff - updating registry entries Therefore, the only additional step compared to intra-RIR transfers would be the coordination with the other RIR staff. With regards to the estimated volume of the potential inter-RIR transfers, it is difficult to make predictions, as the only data currently available is the number of transfers currently taking place, which is less than 20 intra-RIR transfers to date. Based on those numbers, we do not expect a major increase in effort. The anticipated number of inter-RIR transfers is unclear and some members of the RIPE community are suggesting that not all RIPE NCC members would directly benefit from this policy, as is the case with many RIPE Policies. However, it is worth emphasising that if no inter-RIR policy is in place there is a growing risk that some entities will choose to transfer number resources without informing the relevant RIRs or reflect these transfers in the relevant registries. This would dilute the accuracy of the collective RIR registries and have a direct impact on the entire RIPE NCC membership. Therefore, as both APNIC and ARIN already have this policy in place, the RIPE community should consider the consequences of not having an inter-RIR transfer policy in place. "D. Legal Impact of Policy If this policy proposal will be accepted, the RIPE NCC will need to create appropriate legal procedures and template agreements in order for all parties to understand and agree on the preconditions and the consequences of the transfer in accordance with the provisions of this policy." Our legal department indicated that any changes to the appropriate legal procedures and template agreements would fit into the normal work processes that occur after any RIPE Policy has been implemented. Regards, Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC

If a RIPE member acquires ERX space (lets say a /16), and then wants to perhaps offer that space to another member, does the classification stay as ERX (and the basic exemptions), or (on transfer) does it become regulated space (possible impact from 2012-07) and limited to a /22 (currently) that can only be transferred? > > > Mike.

2012-10 Last Call for Comments (Extension of IPv6 /32 to /29 on a per-allocation vs per-LIR basis)
by Emilio Madaio 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Dear Colleagues, The proposal described in 2012-10, "Extension of IPv6 /32 to /29 on a per-allocation vs per-LIR basis", is now in its Concluding Phase. The Address Policy Working Group co-Chairs have declared that consensus for the proposal has been reached and it will now move to Last Call. As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of these coming four weeks of Last Call is to give the community the opportunity to present well-justified objections in case anyone missed the previous two phases and want to oppose the proposal. Any objection must be made by 9 April 2013 and must be supported by an explanation. If no substantive objections are raised by the end of Last Call, the proposal will complete the PDP and will be evaluated by the co-Chairs of all RIPE Working Groups for consensus. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-10 Please e-mail any final comments about this proposal to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net before 9 April 2013. Regards Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

In reposting 2012-02, I realized that this policy had awkwardly referred to "within the RIPE region" and based on comments received, I realized we needed to make it more global in nature. Hence I changed it to refer to "RIR's with compatible policies". Section 5.5 of the IPv4 policy had previously been meant for intra-RIR transfers only. So, in making this policy change, the goal is to tweak the intra-RIR transfer policy to allow a non-conflicting inter-RIR transfer policy to co-exist.

In reposting 2012-03, I updated the policy to refer only to time specific changes, ie the change from 3 months (and 12 months with 2012-06) to 24 months. I did not add any embellishments about the RIPE region that are not needed. The tweaks to section 5.5 fit with policy 2012-02 where we talk about the global nature. I prefer to see 2012-03 approved and the need period for all transfers to become 24 months without mentioning the transfer scope. This policy is only about the time for needs justification.

Hi there, I am representing GTHL, AS31655 and I am trying to find out a little more about the polices mentioned in the subject line of this mail. I am particularly interested in when the current phase will to come conclusion and if proposals will either become policy or not. If you help shed some light on this I would appreciate it.
