NRO and ICANN Reaffirm Commitment to Relationship
by RIPE NCC 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Dear Colleagues, In December 2007, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) exchanged letters reaffirming their commitment to formalizing the legal relationship between the two organizations. The NRO letter, jointly-signed by the executives of the five Regional Internet Registries, stated the NRO's commitment to supporting ICANN, sought ICANN's acknowledgement of certain aspects of the role of the NRO, and committed to a deadline of one (1) year for formalizing the legal arrangements between the two organizations. In the letter sent by ICANN to the NRO, Dr. Paul Twomey, President/CEO of ICANN, identified ICANN's commitments to the NRO and re-acknowledged the roles of the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), the NRO, and the RIRs as described in the ASO Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Dr. Twomey also committed ICANN to working with the NRO to finalize the legal arrangements between the two organizations within the one year timeframe. The NRO thanks Dr. Twomey and ICANN for its commitment to bringing this process to a close in the coming year and looks forward to working together for the benefit of all concerned and the continued stability of management and allocation of Internet Number Resources. The two letters are available at the following URLs: December 2007 Letter from NRO to ICANN http://www.nro.net/documents/nro_letter_12172007.pdf December 2007 ICANN Letter to NRO http://www.nro.net/documents/icann_letter_12192007.pdf Regards, Raymond A.

Fixed maintenance window for LIR Portal: Wednesdays 16:00-19:00,(UTC)
by Tim Bruijnzeels 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Dear Colleagues, We are working on the LIR Portal and back-end systems at the RIPE NCC. Due to this work, we need to perform regular upgrades to our services and this may involve some downtime for the LIR Portal. We have been planning these upgrades on a case-by-case basis, but we believe it would be easier for everyone if there was a regular, fixed maintenance window where possible. Such a window already exists for maintenance of the RIPE Database, so we will use the same window for the LIR Portal: Wednesdays, 16:00-19:00 (UTC) Uptime of the LIR Portal will not be guaranteed during the maintenance window, although we will of course try to minimise downtime. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any comments or questions, please contact us at sw-bugs(a)ripe.net. Kind regards, Tim Bruijnzeels Service Manager LIR Portal RIPE NCC
