[news] RIPE NCC Receives /21 from IANA’s Recovered Pool
by Ingrid Wijte 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Dear colleagues, On 1 March 2018, the RIPE NCC and other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) were each allocated the equivalent of a /21 of IPv4 address space from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The RIPE NCC received the following IPv4 address ranges: 160.238.21.0/24 192.42.65.0/24 192.83.216.0/24 192.135.100.0/24 192.140.2.0/23 192.172.232.0/24 192.251.230.0/24 This returned address space will be added to the RIPE NCC’s free pooland distributed according to the current IPv4 policy. LIRs that have already received their final /22 are NOT eligible to receive any further allocations from the RIPE NCC. You can find the IPv4 policy here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-680 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 on 20 May 2014, triggering the global policy and the first post-exhaustion allocation from IANA. You can read the global policy here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion-2012-… It is important that network operators continue to deploy IPv6 on their networks to ensure the future growth of the Internet. The RIPE NCC's IPv6 Act Now website provides more information about IPv6 deployment: https://www.ripe.net/publications/ipv6-info-centre Regards, Ingrid Wijte Assistant Manager Registration Services and Policy Development RIPE NCC

[service] Improvements to the members-discuss Mailing List
by Fergal Cunningham 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Dear RIPE NCC members, The members-discuss mailing list is the main forum for members to discuss issues of importance for the membership among themselves. However, subscribed members have increasingly experienced problems when many people requested to unsubscribe on the list, resulting in unwanted email for all subscribers. In response to requests to address this issue, we have made improvements to the subscribe and unsubscribe options for the RIPE NCC Membership Discussion mailing list. A summary of the changes is as follows: Subscribing - Subscription to the list is carried out in the usual way via the Subscribed Mailing Lists section in https://my.ripe.net. - All members who subscribe to members-discuss will receive an email asking them to confirm their subscription. Once members confirm subscription, they will receive a welcome email with a password and instructions on how to unsubscribe. - The option to subscribe has been removed from the New LIR sign-up process. Instead, members receive an email six months after activation informing them of their full member status and how to join the members discuss list. Unsubscribing Members can now unsubscribe from the list in three ways: - By clicking a personalised unsubscribe link that appears in the footer of emails they receive from the members-discuss list. You will need to use the password you received when subscribing (a forgot password functionality is available). The personalised link will also show the email address that you are subscribed to the list with. This will help to address issues with people subscribed via a role account or alias. - By sending an email to members-discuss(a)ripe.net with the subject "unsubscribe". - Unsubscribing from the list is possible in the usual way via the Subscribed Mailing Lists section in https://my.ripe.net. Members will receive an email asking them to confirm unsubscription. The members-discuss list is currently moderated but we plan to remove moderation shortly. If you have any questions about the changes, please let me know. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Membership Communications Officer RIPE NCC

08 Feb '18

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Procedural document, “Closure of Members, Deregistration of Internet Resources, and Legacy Resources” has recently been reviewed and updated. The document has been updated to ensure it is consistent with changes to the Articles of Association (AoA) that were approved by the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) in October 2017. The changes to the procedural document specify that once we have begun the closure procedure for a member, and RIPE NCC services have been suspended, the membership will also be suspended. More information is available in the GM supporting documents here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2017/updated-… Please see here the updated document here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-697/ Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli Head of Legal RIPE NCC

[news] RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2018 Published
by Axel Pawlik 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Dear RIPE NCC members, The RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2018 is now available. This definitive document has been approved by the RIPE NCC Executive Board with input from the RIPE NCC membership. It outlines the work we will undertake in the coming year and the associated costs for each activity. The document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-693 An overview of the main points from this year's Activity Plan and Budget are: - The RIPE NCC’s Budget will increase by 7% (largely due to Registry Maintenance, Training, IT and Information Security, DNS and K-root Operations, and Finance and Administration) - There is a forecast revenue increase of 15% in 2018 due to the increasing membership - The RIPE NCC plans to increase its FTE count by 4% in 2018 (from 149 to 155) - The membership fee will remain at EUR 1,400 - There is an anticipated surplus of EUR 6.3 million to potentially be redistributed to the membership - The cost per LIR is expected to be EUR 1,435 down from EUR 1,569 in the 2017 Budget Based on developments over the past few months, feedback the Executive Board received from the membership at the General Meeting (GM) and through other feedback mechanisms, changes were made since the draft Activity Plan and Budget was introduced in September. On the final page of the Activity Plan and Budget is a new Appendix 5, which outlines the changes that were made to the draft version published in September. Appendix 5 notes that there is additional Income of kEUR 491 in service fees and independent resource fees based on actual membership levels, as well as additional sponsorship income for MENOG meetings. It also notes additional budget of 481 kEUR for Operational Expenditures. Full details on all the changes are available in the Appendix. The Executive Board notes that questions arose at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in October that ask for more information on the RIPE NCC's longer-term outlook and strategy to ensure scalability and efficiency, including financial analyses and scenarios for the coming years. The Board is committed to providing information in this area and we will inform the membership when we are ready to present this. We are examining current market trends and we will provide scenarios and analysis based on this in 2018. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
