Historical questions about ip address policy
If anyone knows the answer to these questions they will help in a policy study I am doing 1. When (i.e., what year) did RIPE-NCC first require RSAs or contracts as a condition of registering an address allocation or assignment? 2. When (i.e., what year) did RIPE-NCC first charge fees for services or addresses? 3. When (i.e., what year) did RIRs generally or RIPE-NCC specifically begin to use the 80% HD Ratio as a criterion for eligibility to receive more addresses? If this is considered too off-topic for this list please answer privately.

I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but I do know how I would find the answers. The hard way to do find the answers would be to look in the RIPE document archive: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ The easy way would be a send a mail to the RIPE NCC: http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/email-contact.html Some poor staff member will likely have to munge through the documents too, but at least they will have a good idea where to start looking. Good luck! (Hopefully you're not working for the dark side...) ;) -- Shane
Hi Milton, I've already replied in private, but because Shane has set a precedent I'll reply to the list too ;)
Hi Milton Mueller,
This might interest you: http://www.ripn.net:8082/nic/ripe-docs/ripe-132.txt
Minutes from a meeting on 25-Oct-1995 discussing moving to a charging system instead of using funding. That might answer your second question.
Thanks,
Tom

I remember when RIPE started charging since il.iucc was one of the first 5 to pay the fee to boot-start RIPE. I'll check my archives on Sunday. -Hank
