Voting Options at General Meetings
by Axel Pawlik 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC Executive Board has been evaluating various options regarding the proposal to change the voting procedure currently used to elect the Executive Board during General Meetings. Several of these options were presented at the General Meeting in May 2009. Please refer to this presentation for more details: http://www.ripe.net/membership/gm/gm-may2009/presentations/ After discussion during this meeting, there was no clear consensus on how to proceed. The minutes of the General Meeting are available at: http://www.ripe.net/membership/gm/gm-may2009/minutes.html The Executive Board concluded that in order to widen participation in elections, it will propose to allow voting by postal ballot for Executive Board elections. This addition to the voting process will not require a major effort or a major investment from the RIPE NCC. The Executive Board will monitor whether this enhancement leads to increased participation and based on these outcomes will decide on further steps. Membership discussion of the proposed changes to voting options for General Meetings can take place at <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. For your information, there has already been some discussion on the members-discuss mailing list. The mailing list archive is available at: http://www.ripe.net/maillists/ncc-archives/members-discuss/2009/index.html#… Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Gabriella, The approved policy "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC" states: "This fourth version also argues that the proposal covers all End Users of provider independent number resources previously assigned either directly by the RIPE NCC or through a RIPE NCC Local Internet Registry. This proposal does not cover number resources marked in the RIPE Database as Early Registration (ERX) or NOT-SET. It also does not cover number resources listed in the RIPE Database which were assigned by InterNIC or assigned or allocated by other Regional Internet Registries." http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2007-01.html For this reason Early Registration (ERX) Internet number resources are not covered by this policy implementation.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Ziv, You are correct. End Users of "orphaned" Internet number resources will have the choice to either sign a contract with a sponsoring LIR or with the RIPE NCC. However, "Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region" states: "The preferred model of the RIPE community is for End Users to have a contractual relationship with a sponsoring LIR instead of directly with the RIPE NCC." End Users signing a contract with the RIPE NCC will be charged a one-time Administration fee and an annual Maintenance fee as according to: http://www.ripe.net/membership/billing/procedure-enduser.html With regards to AS numbers and other Internet number resources assigned to organisations in the AfriNIC service region, those have been transferred or are in the process of being transferred to AfriNIC. They do not fall under the policy implementation "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC". For more information, please see: http://ripe.net/projects/erx/transferred.html I hope this clarifies. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Hank, The main focus points of Phase 2 of this policy implementation are to ensure there is a contract in place between End Users and their sponsoring LIR, and allowing LIRs to exclude from their 2010 billing fee independent Internet number resources linked to End Users that are not customers of the LIR. As you mention, resources of End Users who do not have a contract in place with an LIR or with the RIPE NCC by 31 December 2009 will be considered "orphaned". The RIPE NCC will start contacting the End Users of those independent Internet number resources in 2010 (Phase 3 of the policy implementation), asking them to sign a contract either with a sponsoring LIR or with the RIPE NCC. The exact timeline will depend on the number of "orphaned" resources. We are currently preparing different scenarios based on current statistics. A procedure for "orphaned" End User resources with regards to timelines and (de-)registration details will be published in advance. If you have any further feedback or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

16 Jul '09

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the RIPE NCC has implemented the accepted policy proposal 2008-05, "Anycasting Assignments for TLDs and Tier 0/1 ENUM". This allows Tier 0/1 ENUM operators to receive IPv4 and IPv6 anycasting assignments and increases the number of anycasting prefixes that can be assigned to an operator from one to a maximum of four assignments. The request form and supporting notes are available from the RIPE Document Store at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/requestforms.html If you have any questions, please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net>.
