[training] RIPE NCC Academy unavailable from 2-27 January 2020
by Sandra Brás 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Academy will not be available from 2-27 January 2020 as we are upgrading the platform and changing how we offer digital badges and certificates. Here’s what we’re changing: ------------------------------------------ *Important Information* ------------------------------------------ If you are currently following a course, or have earned a badge or certificate from the RIPE NCC Academy: - Going forward, we will no longer issue certificates through the RIPE NCC Academy. - Badges earned by completing activities in the Academy courses will also be removed. - If you would like to receive a RIPE NCC Academy certificate, make sure to finish any incomplete courses before 2 January 2020. Your progress in a course will not be saved beyond this date. - Please download and save your RIPE NCC Academy certificates as they will not be available from 2 January onwards. - The new RIPE Database course will be available after 27 January 2020. - We will issue verifiable digital badges and certificates through the RIPE NCC Certified Professionals programme from 2020 onwards. ------------------------------------------ A fresh RIPE Database Course ------------------------------------------ The RIPE Database online course will return with new, up-to-date content. This content is aligned with the RIPE NCC Certified Professionals exam. Other major changes include making the modules shorter, meaning that you can learn about a topic in 10-20 minute sessions. We have also improved the interactivity and have added exercises to help you practice your RIPE Database skills. ------------------------------------------ Training Database Upgrade ------------------------------------------ The Training Database is a copy of the RIPE Database for learners. It will be updated to the latest version of the RIPE Database software and, from now onwards, it will be synced with every future update of the RIPE Database software. While the bad news is that we will take the Academy offline for most of January 2020, the good news is that it will come back with improved functionality and a better learning experience. You can read more about these changes on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ulka_athale_1/revamping-the-ripe-ncc-academy If you have any questions, write to us at <academy(a)ripe.net> Best regards, Sandra Brás E-Learning Programme Manager RIPE NCC

[news] The RIPE NCC has run out of IPv4 Addresses
by Nikolas Pediaditis 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Dear colleagues, Today, at 15:35 UTC+1 on 25 November 2019, we made our final /22 IPv4 allocation from the last remaining addresses in our available pool. We have now run out of IPv4 addresses. Our announcement will not come as a surprise for network operators - IPv4 run-out has long been anticipated and planned for by the RIPE community. In fact, it is due to the community's responsible stewardship of these resources that we have been able to provide many thousands of new networks in our service region with /22 allocations after we reached our last /8 in 2012. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Recovered IPv4 Addresses and the Waiting List ---------------------------------------------------------------- Even though we have run out, we will continue to recover IPv4 addresses in the future. These will come from organisations that have gone out of business or whose LIR accounts are closed, or from networks that return addresses they no longer need. They will be allocated to our members according to their position on a new waiting list that is now active. While we therefore expect to be allocating IPv4 for some time, these small amounts will not come close to the many millions of addresses that networks in our region need today. Only LIRs that have never received an IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC (of any size) may request addresses from the waiting list, and they are only eligible to receive a single /24 allocation. LIRs that have submitted an IPv4 request can see their position on the waiting list in the LIR Portal. A new graph has also been published that shows the number of requests on the waiting list and the number of days that the LIR at the front of the queue has been waiting: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-waiting-list ---------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Greater Progress on IPv6 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This event is another step on the path towards global exhaustion of the remaining IPv4 addressing space. In recent years, we have seen the emergence of an IPv4 transfer market and greater use of Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) in our region. There are costs and trade-offs with both approaches and neither one solves the underlying problem, which is that there are not enough IPv4 addresses for everyone. Without wide-scale IPv6 deployment, we risk heading into a future where the growth of our Internet is unnecessarily limited - not by a lack of skilled network engineers, technical equipment or investment, but by a shortage of unique network identifiers. There is still a long way to go, and we call on all stakeholders to play their role in supporting the IPv6 roll-out. At the RIPE NCC, we are here to support our membership and the wider RIPE community in this work. Aside from allocating the IPv6 resources that will be required, we will continue to provide advice, training, measurements and tools to help network operators as they put their deployment plans into action. We are optimistic and excited to see what the next chapter will bring. So let's get to work - and together, let's shape the future of the Internet. Best regards, Everyone at the RIPE NCC

[news] Update: IPv4 Pool Running Low - Waiting List Published
by Nikolas Pediaditis 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Dear colleagues, With less than 100 IPv4 /22-equivalents remaining in our pool, we expect that we will announce run-out early next week. Ahead of this, we have published a table and graph which will show the number of /24 requests when the waiting list becomes active (both the table/graph will obviously remain at zero until then). You can find this here: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-waiting-list Because of the way we have implemented the waiting list, there is a small chance that some people will know we have reached IPv4 run-out before we do. While this is not overly important, to avoid confusion we thought it might be worth explaining why this could happen. To ensure fairness, each request effectively "reserves" a /22 until the allocation can be made. Depending on the rate of IPv4 requests, it's possible that we might end a workday with only a handful of /22s remaining in our pool. If the number of requests we receive outside of office hours exceeds the number of remaining allocations, any further requests will be added to the waiting list automatically. This will generate an email notification for the LIR that submitted the request - thereby informing them that we are out of /22 allocations. Of course, we would not have "officially" run out, as we would still have some (at least one) /22s waiting to be allocated when we returned to the office. We will make our announcement only once we have made the final /22 allocation. Kind regards, Nikolas Pediaditis Registration Services and Policy Development Manager RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, We have now published the draft minutes from the October 2019 General Meeting (GM). The minutes contain links to the presentations given at the GM as well as the results of the voting on resolutions. Included at the top of the minutes is a link to a new "GM Objections System". We would like to briefly explain what this is for. At the May 2019 GM, the RIPE NCC Articles of Association (AoA) were updated to include some procedural details about how GMs should be run. Article 19.4 explains that the draft minutes should be published within two working days of the GM (today), and also explains that members have a period of three weeks in which they can object to the draft minutes. For an objection to be considered by the Executive Board, it must be signed by at least 100 members. The new tool is designed to make this process simpler for members who wish to make an objection. Members can easily view and support other members' objections or submit their own. A RIPE NCC Access account that is associated with an existing membership is required to use the tool. You can find the draft minutes at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2019/minutes You can find the objection tool at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/minutes-objections If you are interested in the relevant text in the AoA, you can read Article 19.4 here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-726 Kind regards Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC
