Updated RIPE document ripe-527, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region"
by Emilio Madaio 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Dear colleagues, Please note that ripe-524 has been updated to ripe-527. This is due to the addition of a sentence to the policy text. The sentence was accidentally removed from the policy text during the update that followed approval of policy proposal 2010-01. It has been reinstated in this version. This sentence is from the end of Section 11.0: "Information on training courses and training material can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/training" The updated RIPE document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-527 We apologise for this administrative oversight and any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

IANA implementation analysis of proposal 2011-01, "Global Policy Proposal for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by IANA"
by Emilio Madaio 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Dear Colleagues, In order to provide a more comprehensive overview of the expected implementation aspects of proposal 2011-01, the RIPE NCC sought input from IANA staff. Below is the analysis produced by Leo Vegoda. We hope that this input will be useful to RIPE community discussion of this proposal. We also note that the current Review Phase for the proposal will end on 25 August 2011. Best Regards Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC --------oooooooooo-------------- IANA staff impact analysis of RIPE policy proposal 2011-01 This analysis considers the impact of ratification of RIPE policy proposal 2011-01 (as a part of GPP-IPv4-2011) by the ICANN Board of Directors. 1. The policy would require ICANN, as the IANA function operator, to establish a Recovered IPv4 Pool. The pool would have to include “any fragments that may be left over in the IANA”. In order to do this, ICANN staff would have to work closely with the five RIRs’ staffs to make sure the initial pool included all fragments assigned to IANA. It is not clear whether this policy proposal is intended to supersede the IETF’s right to make IPv4 assignments for “specialised address blocks (such as multicast or anycast blocks)” as documented in section 4.3 of RFC 2860. This should be clarified but that can probably be done by way of assertions from the NRO rather than a revision to the policy text. In the event that the policy is intended to supersede RFC 2860 there is a potential issue with the internal reservation of small blocks address blocks that have been informally reserved for IETF standards track work currently in progress. 2. It would replace the current procedure for Updating legacy Class A IPv4 allocations, which was agreed with the NRO in February 2007. This is because the text includes a statement that “The Recovered IPv4 Pool will initially contain any fragments that may be left over in the IANA. It will also hold any space returned to the IANA by any other means” and this presumably include address space returned directly by registrants. 3. Once it was activated by an RIR declaring that it has less than a /9 in its inventory, IANA would have to make the first allocation. IANA would then have to make additional allocations on 1 March and 1 September each year, if there is enough address space left in the pool. The minimum allocation size would be a /24 and the “allocation unit” used in each allocation would be determined by dividing the total pool by five and rounding down to the nearest CIDR boundary. As an example, if the pool contained 27 /24s, each RIR would be allocated a /22 (or the equivalent made from multiple /24 prefixes) because 5.4 /24s is not on a CIDR boundary. There is no text stating that the “allocation units” must be a single prefix and so it seems reasonable to make them up from a bundle of prefixes when necessary. 4. All address space added to the Recovered IPv4 Pool would be registered as such in the IANA IPv4 Address Space Registry. Similarly, allocations from the pool would also be registered. This would require the granularity of registration to move from /8 boundaries as is currently the case and as such could inflate the size of the registry from 256 lines to several thousand. --------oooooooooo--------------

Discussion standards
by Sander Steffann 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hello working group, Declaration of hats: speaking on behalf of the chairs of this working group: Gert Döring and myself. We have noticed that in the last months a lot of messages about policy proposals contain assumptions, feelings and expectations. While these can be very important in a discussion it is very hard to discuss such statements. Too much of this and it can make policy development nearly impossible. If we want to make good decisions and work towards consensus we need to raise our standards a bit. I want to ask everybody here to add supporting facts, numbers, statistics or other data wherever possible. That doesn't mean that nobody should express their doubts or opinions! All input is still welcome. But please be aware that when trying to judge if consensus has been reached we might give less weight to input that has no data backing it. Thank you, Sander Steffann APWG Co-chair
