Four /8s Allocated to RIRs; 2.73% Remains
by Axel Pawlik 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Dear colleagues, Today, 30 November 2010, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) distributed four of the remaining eleven /8s to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs): 5/8 and 37/8 to the RIPE NCC and 23/8 and 100/8 to ARIN. The IANA free pool of IPv4 addresses now stands at seven /8s, or 2.73% of the total IPv4 address pool. When only five /8s remain, the IANA will simultaneously distribute these equally among five RIRs, in accordance with global policy: http://www.icann.org/en/general/allocation-remaining-ipv4-space.htm There are now only two IPv4 blocks available under the normal distribution method. If you have not already adopted the next generation of Internet Protocol, IPv6, I strongly urge you to act now. For more information on IPv6 adoption, visit: http://www.ipv6actnow.org/ If you have any questions or comments, please email <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director, RIPE NCC

PGP Key-Signing Party at RIPE 61
by Anand Buddhdev 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, During RIPE 61, A PGP Key-Signing Party will be held on Tuesday 16 November, at 18:00. We encourage you to come along if you're interested in building your web of trust. The signing process will happen as follows: 1. Before the party, you'll need to add your PGP public key to this keyring: http://biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=9837 The deadline for adding an entry to the keyring is Tuesday 16 November at 12:00. 2. At the party, you'll be provided with a printed copy of the keyring. You'll need to verify that your public key is listed correctly on it. 3. Each person present will read out the fingerprint of their own public key for everyone else to verify. Please bring an independent copy of your key fingerprint (eg. your business card) to read from. As each fingerprint is read out, you can mark your copy with a check mark. 4. Next, each person will confirm their identity by showing a legal document (such as a passport or a driver's licence) to the other participants. After you're satisfied with the identity of a participant, you can mark your copy with a second check mark. 5. At the end of the party, each participant will have a printed sheet on which they will have placed check marks to confirm public key fingerprints and identities. When you get home, you can download the keyring and sign each key that you have checked. After that you should send each signed key to the owner of the key, and perhaps upload it to a keyserver. Regards, Anand Buddhdev DNS Services Manager, RIPE NCC
