[news] RIPE NCC Receives Allocation from IANA's Recovered IPv4 Pool
by Andrew de la Haye 21 May '14

21 May '14

Dear colleagues, Yesterday, on 20 May 2014, the RIPE NCC and other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) were allocated what will likely be one of the last significant blocks of IPv4 addresses we receive from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Each RIR received the equivalent of a /11 of IPv4 address space. The RIPE NCC was allocated the IPv4 address range 45.128.0.0/11 and we are currently adding this to our available pool. Following the exhaustion of IANA's free pool of IPv4 addresses in 2011, when the RIRs received their final /8s, a global policy caused IANA to create a recovered pool of leftover and returned IPv4 address blocks. This policy was ratified by all five RIR communities in 2012 and stated that IANA would begin making equal, periodic allocations from the recovered pool when the first RIR reached a /9 of remaining addresses. This point was reached by LACNIC, the RIR for Latin America and the Caribbean yesterday, which triggered the global policy and thus the first post-exhaustion allocation from IANA. You can read the global policy here: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-… Now that the policy is active, the RIPE NCC will receive one-fifth of any recovered addresses in the pool every six months (every March and September). The RIPE NCC will continue to distribute these according to the current last /8 policy, under which LIRs may receive a one-time /22 allocation (1,024 addresses). With yet another RIR reaching IPv4 exhaustion, it is important that network operators continue to deploy IPv6 on their networks to ensure the future growth of the Internet. More information on IPv6 deployment can be found here: www.ipv6actnow.com Kind regards Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Leaders of the organisations responsible for coordination of the Internet technical infrastructure (loosely referred to as “I* leaders”) met on 25 April in São Paulo, Brazil following the NETmundial meeting. During the 1-day I* leaders meeting, the group considered a range of issues where dialogue among Internet technical organisations is useful. In particular, the group highlighted that the NETmundial meeting has energised the multistakeholder discussions and model in a positive fashion. The leaders highlighted the importance of open, collaborative, bottom-up processes across meetings and organisations dealing with the Internet. During the meeting, the group reflected on a number of other topics as well: I. Transition of NTIA’s Stewardship of the IANA Functions and review of ICANN accountability processes. http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/transition II. The announcement made by ICANN CEO of the launch of a process to review and improve ICANN’s own oversight/accountability mechanism and how it is complementary to the IANA function’s stewardship evolution process. III. Upcoming Internet Governance meetings including the Internet Governance Forum and the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference. http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/ http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/2014-itu-plenipotentiary-conference-back… IV. Coordination of experiences, plans and resources to further deploy DNSSEC via the ccTLD community. V. Identification of issues and players to further enable adoption of Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) toward accelerating their adoption in communities that don’t use the Latin Character sets.
