2015-04 Proposal Accepted (RIPE Resource Transfer Policies)
by Marco Schmidt 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Dear colleagues, Consensus has been reached on 2015-04, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies". This policy change created a single policy document with all relevant information on the transfer of Internet number resources, replacing text in several RIPE Policies. The policy change also introduces a 24-month holding period for IPv4 addresses and 16-bit ASNs after any change of holdership. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-04 The new RIPE Document is ripe-682, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies" and is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-682 The following RIPE policies haven been updated as well and received a new document number: ripe-679, "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies" https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-679 ripe-680, "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region" https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-680 ripe-681, "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy" https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-681 The following RIPE policy has been marked as obsolete and replaced by ripe-682: ripe-644, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources" We estimate that this proposal will take around three months to fully implement. In order to ensure a correct and consistent handling of requests, the current procedures remain in place until the implementation is completed. This applies in particular to transfers of IPv4 and 16-bit ASNs. Details of the implementation status are available at: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/policy-impleme… We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete and the new procedures are in place. Thank you to everyone who provided input. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

WG chair rotation - call for volunteers
by Sander Steffann 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hello working group, As per the WG chair policy we gave us, the WG chairs are appointed for a two year duty, and then have to step down (and can be re-appointed). https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap/address-policy-wg-chair-selecti… It is Gert's turn to step down, and he has announced he will do this at the upcoming RIPE meeting. This means we have an empty position and are looking for volunteers to step forward. The job description and responsibilities are documented in https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-542. Gert has indicated that he is volunteering to serve another term, so we already have one candidate for the empty position. But don't let that deter you from volunteering! If you have any questions about what it means to be a working group chair then please contact us and we'll prepare you as good as we can. And if you want to volunteer and be eligible for selection at the upcoming RIPE meeting then please state so on the mailing list along with a short introduction for those of us that don't know you yet. Cheers, Sander Steffann APWG co-chair

2016-05 I agree
by Frank Meyer 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hello, I agree to 2016-05 ! Why having 2 different policies for the same thing? - Two policies cause overhead and double effort. - Different policies punish early birds in ipv6 deployment. So let us synchronise the policies. Best regards! Frank lir de.government sub lir Niedersachsen
