16 May '14

Dear members, The RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) took place in Warsaw from 14-15 May 2014. There were 144 attendees at the GM, not including RIPE NCC staff. An election took place to fill three seats on the RIPE NCC Executive Board. There were six candidates and the seats were taken by Maria Häll, Christian Kaufmann and Salam Yamout. This means the Executive Board has expanded and now has six members. We would like to congratulate Christian on his re-election and welcome Maria and Salam to the board. We would also like to thank Fahad AlShirawi for his work on the Executive Board over the past six years. The membership also voted on five resolutions, all of which were approved: - The General Meeting adopts the RIPE NCC Financial Report 2013. - The General Meeting discharges the Executive Board with regard to its actions as they appear from the Annual Report 2013. - The General Meeting approves the proposed implementation plan for the RIPE Policy "RIPE NCC Services to Legacy Internet Resource Holders" as presented and documented by the RIPE NCC. - The General Meeting approves the new RIPE NCC Conflict Arbitration Procedure. - The General Meeting adopts the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2015. 608 RIPE NCC members cast their votes on the resolutions and in the elections. The RIPE NCC Executive Board would like to thank the members for their feedback and participation at the GM. All the information on the GM, including the supporting documents and presentations, are available from: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/gm/may-2014 Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Leaders of the organisations responsible for coordination of the Internet technical infrastructure (loosely referred to as “I* leaders”) met on 25 April in São Paulo, Brazil following the NETmundial meeting. During the 1-day I* leaders meeting, the group considered a range of issues where dialogue among Internet technical organisations is useful. In particular, the group highlighted that the NETmundial meeting has energised the multistakeholder discussions and model in a positive fashion. The leaders highlighted the importance of open, collaborative, bottom-up processes across meetings and organisations dealing with the Internet.

III. Upcoming Internet Governance meetings including the Internet Governance Forum and the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference. http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/ http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/2014-itu-plenipotentiary-conference-back… IV.

by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 05 May '14

05 May '14

Dear colleagues, Due to a technical problem we need to perform emergency maintenance work on the server hosting the RIPE Meeting websites and presentation archives. This will affect all the RIPE Meeting website pages (such as ripe68.ripe.net) for the duration of the work. This will *not* affect the main RIPE NCC website (www.ripe.net) as well as RIPE Labs, the LIR Portal and any other RIPE NCC service. The work is planned from 17:00 (UTC+2) and will take an estimated 30 minutes. We apologise in advance for the inconvenience. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader - http://www.ripe.net/

[news] ARIN Reaches Final /8
by Andrew de la Haye 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Dear colleagues, Yesterday, ARIN announced that they reached their final /8 of IPv4 address space and have moved to Phase Four of their IPv4 Countdown Plan. You can find more information on this here: https://www.arin.net/resources/request/countdown_phase4.html With LACNIC also reaching their final /8 earlier in March, four of the five RIRs have now reached this historic milestone. This highlights more than ever the need to move towards full IPv6 deployment. Many big players have already shown their commitment to deploying IPv6, and countless other organisations are also taking these necessary steps. It is encouraging to see that the amount of IPv6 traffic to Google, for example, has more than doubled over the previous year. When we look at the RIPE NCC's own statistics, more than 68% of our members now have an IPv6 allocation: https://labs.ripe.net/statistics/lirs-with-and-without-ipv6 And over 20% of all networks in our service region are currently announcing IPv6 prefixes: http://v6asns.ripe.net/v/6?s=_ALL;s=_RIR_RIPE_NCC The RIPE NCC is committed to IPv6 adoption and encourages all organisations to become IPv6 enabled. To find more information, advice from experts and where to get training, please see: www.IPv6actnow.org Kind regards Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC
