You forgot the ladies. RIR policies are set by the members of the RIR... so yes, it is possible to modify current address policy. I'll note that in the case you referece, Google made a deal with the folks who were allocated the net 8 space, not with the RIR. --bill On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 04:41:35PM +0600, Sergey Gotsulyak wrote:
Gentlemen,
Some days ago, I told Jaap Akkerhuis about allocation of 2.2.2.0/24 address space for our DNS-service and he advice me to contact this workgroup.
Our company Ideco is located in Russia and is in the business of developing and selling Internet gateways for small and middle businesses in Russia as well as billing software for ISPs.
Webre now starting a new project for Russia and Eastern Europe that will provide secure Internet access for educational institutions, commercial and non-profit organizations. Webre planning to set up a number of DNS-centers that will block malware, adult websites and phishing links.
For this project webll need an easy to remember IP-address, for example like the one for Google Public DNS service (8.8.8.8)
We have contacted RIPE NCC with a request to get a block of addresses 2.2.2.0/24, but were told that the standard procedure does not allow us to choose an address range.
Is it possible to modify current Address Policy?
