[news] Global Consultation on Identifier Technical Health Indicators (ITHI) Project
by Nick Hyrka 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization. The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has developed a proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition in response to an ongoing ICANN initiative. Each Regional Internet Registry (RIR) is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of its registry data. This is critical to the reliability of the RIR Whois databases which provide access to the public data of the Registry. For the purposes of measuring the state of the data, accuracy has been defined as “comprehensive, correct, and current”. The Registration Services coordination (RSCG) and Engineering coordination groups (ECG) have developed recommendations for how the RIRs can identify and measure risk associated with registry data accuracy. We are now seeking feedback on the NRO ITHI project proposal, specifically on the definition of the risks and measurements to report on registry data accuracy. Proposal for ITHI risk identification and definition: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/RSCG_ITHI_Project_Proposal.pdf The deadline for providing feedback is 12 December 2017. Community feedback and discussion will be conducted on the <ithi-consult(a)nro.net> mailing list. You can subscribe to the global mailing list at: https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ithi-consult Key points for discussion: - The proposed approach - The proposed measurement matrix - Other information such as how often to measure, where to post results, what formats to share results Other links ICANN ITHI page: www.icann.org/ithi ITHI presentation from ICANN 57: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ithi-icann57-07nov16-en.pdf

[news] RIPE NCC Receives /20 from IANA's Recovered Pool
by Ingrid Wijte 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Dear colleagues, On 1 September 2017, the RIPE NCC and other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) were each allocated the equivalent of a /20 of IPv4 address space from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The RIPE NCC received the following IPv4 address ranges: 160.20.214.0/23 160.20.248.0/23 160.238.60.0/23 160.238.96.0/22 192.145.224.0/22 204.48.32.0/23 This returned address space will be added to the RIPE NCC’s free pool and 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] Document Management at the RIPE NCC
by Matt Parker 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC will move to a new cloud-based ticketing system, Zendesk, in the coming weeks. The data centres for this system are located in the EU and are fully ISO 27001 compliant. More information is available in the RIPE Labs article on the new ticketing system: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/ticketing-and-document-management-at… As part of the transition process, and to ensure security for you and your private information, we will change the way we receive and manage documentation from next week. Members often send us sensitive and confidential documents that they would not want uploaded to the cloud. We will ensure that these are stored only on dedicated RIPE NCC servers. All requests to the RIPE NCC that require sending documentation are already submitted through my.ripe.net - so there is no change here. If you need to add further documentation to a request, you will be able to do this using the enhanced 'My Tickets' functionality that will be available to registered LIR account holders. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best regards, Matt Parker RIPE NCC

[news] Unifying the LIR Portal and RIPE Database User Experience
by Tim Bruijnzeels 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that we have completed our integration of the LIR Portal and the RIPE Database web interface. Users will now have a seamless experience when managing their LIR and their resources, and editing objects in the RIPE Database. In the past, the LIR Portal and RIPE Database were maintained as separate applications with their own navigation and authentication. Today the distinction between these two services is no longer as relevant as it once was. The LIR Portal, which was originally intended only for members, also now caters to other resource holders (e.g. RPKI for Legacy Resource Holders and Provider Independent End Users). Similarly, the RIPE Database offers resource management options that were previously only available in the LIR Portal. The two navigation menus have therefore been unified into a single menu that is contextual - users will see only those items that are applicable to them. This functionality is also available for non-LIR users with a RIPE NCC Access account that is linked to an ORGANISATION object in the RIPE Database. This will make it easier for non members to use My Resources and the RPKI Dashboard. You can find updated documentation on our website here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/ripe-ncc-access This latest update is part of our ongoing efforts to streamline the ways that our members interact with the RIPE NCC and manage their resources, as recently discussed on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/unifying-the-lir-portal-and-ripe-dat… Regards Tim Bruijnzeels Software Engineering Assistant Manager and Senior Technology Officer RIPE NCC
