[news] RIPE NCC Receives /19 from IANA's Recovered Pool
by Andrea Cima 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Dear colleagues, On 1 March 2017, the RIPE NCC and other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) were each allocated the equivalent of a /19 of IPv4 address space from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The RIPE NCC received the following IPv4 address ranges: 160.19.92.0/22 160.19.180.0/22 160.20.108.0/22 160.238.36.0/22 160.238.52.0/22 192.70.192.0/21 204.11.0.0/22. 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-649 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 Andrea Cima Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

Please use the contact migration wizard in the LIR Portal by 1 April 2017 to ensure we have one list of authorised users for each LIR. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2017-January/001125.ht… This migration simplifies user management in the LIR Portal while making members' communication with the RIPE NCC more secure. PROCESSING NEW MEMBER APPLICATIONS The RIPE NCC management applied Resolution 3 of the May 2016 General Meeting by extending the procedures to deal with such cases to include new membership applications from related legal entities (with the same contact person, directors, owners, applicant, etc.) The RIPE NCC Executive Board therefore declares that new membership applications from related legal entities should be processed according to the additional LIR account procedure; one application should be processed at a time. MOVING FORWARD WITH ALLOCATED PI/ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED Based on feedback from the Address Policy Working Group, we are now preparing to contact all LIRs that have resources in the RIPE Database with the status ALLOCATED PI or ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED. We will follow a case-by-case basis to resolve this issue. The aim is to bring clarity in regard to PI assignments made by these LIRs for both the resource holders and the LIRs, and to consistently apply RIPE policies to all ASSIGNED PI address space in the RIPE Database. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-August/01166… RIPE ATLAS VIDEO Check out our new video highlighting how you can use RIPE Atlas to troubleshoot connectivity issues in your network: https://youtu.be/Z3SW2vO8qW0 RIPEstat ROUTING HISTORY WIDGET The Routing History Widget provides you with a historical view of the visibility and originators of a prefix. https://stat.ripe.net/widget/routing-history#w.resource=2001:67c:2e8::/48 All RIPEstat widgets are listed at: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/list TRAINING COURSES AND WEBINARS Is there a RIPE NCC Training Course coming to your country?

[news] Please Migrate LIR Contracts by 1 April 2017
by Alex Band 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Dear colleagues, On 29 September 2016, we announced that we simplified user management in the LIR Portal while making communication with the RIPE NCC more secure for our members: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2016-September/001093.… We requested that an administrator for your LIR account go through a migration wizard to ensure there is a single list of authorised user accounts. If you have not yet done this, please migrate as soon as possible: https://my.ripe.net/#/contacts On 1 April 2017, we will remove any remaining LIR Contacts that have not been migrated. After that, these contacts will no longer be able to communicate with the RIPE NCC on the LIR's behalf - only people with an authorised user account will be able to. For most interactions with the RIPE NCC, such as requesting or transferring resources, a user account with LIR Portal access is required already. Administrators can always create a user account at any point if necessary. If the administrator for your LIR account does not currently have access to the LIR Portal, please see instructions here on how to get access: https://lirportal.ripe.net/getting_started If you have any questions about migrating your contacts or about your LIR account, please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

[news] RIPE NCC Welcomes 15,000th LIR
by Axel Pawlik 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Dear colleagues, Today we welcome our 15,000th Local Internet Registry (LIR) to join the RIPE NCC. This comes after several years of intense growth across our service region — it was less than three years ago that we reached 10,000 LIRs. Coincidentally, this latest milestone comes as we are completing the move to our new office location in Amsterdam. Our membership is changing as it grows. LIRs are increasingly being created by “non-traditional” industrial, financial and manufacturing entities that are showing greater interest in managing their own technical infrastructure. We are pleased to welcome these new LIRs on board and recognise that additional outreach efforts may be needed to explain the bottom-up process and encourage their participation within the RIPE community. This is reflected in our recently-published Activity Plan and Budget 2017, where we have placed an emphasis on member outreach in the coming year. Another focus will be ensuring that these new LIRs are aware of the range of tools and services we provide to support them in their work, something that was identified as an area for improvement in the RIPE NCC Survey 2016 results. For more on our membership, this article on RIPE Labs takes a look at its growth over time and examines the effect this will have on our remaining IPv4 pool: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/15-000-local-internet-registries Kind regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
