Automatic Disabling of Mailing List Subscriptions
by Paul Rendek 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Dear Colleagues, As you may be aware, a recent post to the RIPE NCC Services Working Group mailing list mentioned that some subscribers are experiencing automatic disabling of their mailing list subscriptions. You can read this message at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/ncc-services-wg/2009/msg00070.h… The current mailing list policy states that after five messages from the list mail server have bounced back from a mailbox, the email address is automatically set to 'disabled'. Anyone affected by this can re-enable their subscription by clicking on the relevant mailing list in the mailing list management page at: http://www.ripe.net/mailman/ If you have any further questions or suggestions about this, please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net>.

RIPE NCC and ICANN Commit to Ongoing DNS Root Name Service Coordination
by Paul Rendek 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, Dr. Paul Twomey, CEO of ICANN, has posted an open letter to Axel Pawlik, Managing Director of the RIPE NCC, noting ICANN's appreciation of the role RIPE NCC plays as operator of k.root-servers.net, or simply K-root, one of the 13 Internet root name servers. The letter was sent in response to letters sent by the RIPE NCC, Autonomica, operator of I-root, and WIDE Project, operator of M-root, to ICANN in May 2009. The letter notes that both ICANN and the RIPE NCC acknowledge "that a single, unique DNS root is paramount to the stable operations of the Internet and to ensure global interoperability", and that "close ICANN coordination with the root-server operators provides a foundation for a secure, stable and resilient DNS." ICANN and the RIPE NCC have jointly committed to "coordinating their respective activities regarding the DNS root name service with each other and third parties". This includes "exchanging and maintaining the necessary operational and administrative contact information, notifying each other without undue delay of any (pending) operational changes or any (pending) changes in their respective activities". You can view the full text of the letter from ICANN to the RIPE NCC at: http://ripe.net/news/icann-kroot-reply.pdf The text of the May 2009 letter from the RIPE NCC to ICANN can be found here: http://ripe.net/news/root-server-statement-to-icann.html More information about RIPE NCC's operation of K-root is available at: http://k.root-servers.org/ Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC

In order not to disrupt day-to-day operations like resource requests, which have the highest priority, we have created a separate ticket queue with lower priority for End User contracts. We have mentioned this at http://www.ripe.net/rs/pi-existing-assignments.html. We will take your feedback into account and add more information on the statistics page and acknowledgments sent to the LIR. With regards to the billing of resources, Up to September, LIRs can indicate which resources should stay with their LIR and which not. If in the interface provided through the LIR Portal you select 'Not My End User', you will not be billed for the specific resource in 2010. Move requests are taken into account but will be handled over a longer period of time. I hope this clarifies, however if you have any further questions or feedback don't hesitate to contact me.

With the implementation of RIPE Policy "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC", LIRs have the possibility to inform the RIPE NCC which independent resources should stay with the LIR and which should be moved (End User not their customer). The resources which will be moved, will be marked and excluded from your LIR's 2010 invoice. Please see: http://www.ripe.net/rs/pi-existing-assignments.html I hope this clarifies.

IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey Now Underway!
by Paul Rendek 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, As announced at RIPE 58, TNO and GNKS Consult are working with the RIPE NCC to conduct a survey, sponsored by the European Commission, on the current and future use of IPv6 throughout the RIPE NCC service region. The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of the RIPE community to participate: http://is-nri.com/take/?i=150597&h=1GwWe3dXXMcPrRrOw5s2yg The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. The survey was developed in consultation with members of the RIPE community, and is inspired by the 2008 survey conducted by ARIN and CAIDA in North America. It is sponsored by the European Commission, which has actively supported the adoption of IPv6, in the interests of innovation and the continuing competitiveness of European industry. We encourage all organisations in the RIPE NCC service region to participate in this survey, which we hope will establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. By making the survey design similar to the ARIN/CAIDA survey, we hope that the results will contribute to a better global picture of current and future IPv6 deployment. The survey is composed of 16 questions and can be completed in 10-15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. The survey will close on 3 July 2009. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed at RIPE 59, which will be held 5-9 October in Lisbon, Portugal. Results will also be published on IPv6 Act Now: http://ipv6actnow.org Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team. We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to <info(a)gnksconsult.com >. Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC

Proposed Draft Charging Scheme 2010
by Fergal Cunningham 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC is currently formulating the Draft Charging Scheme 2010. The Draft Charging Scheme 2010 will take into account the requirements of policy proposal 2007-01, "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC", and the discussions that took place at the RIPE NCC General Meeting in May 2009 regarding the 2010 Charging Scheme. The main features of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 will be: - As in previous years, there will be five membership categories - Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large - The 2010 fee for each membership category will be the same as for 2009 - An algorithm will determine a score that decides what category a member belongs to - The score will be based on Provider Aggregatable (PA) IPv4 and PA IPv6 allocated over time - Direct assignments will have a recurring charge per assignment and the fee will be EUR 50 per direct assignment The RIPE NCC will publish the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 at the beginning of July 2009. The RIPE NCC Executive Board will then monitor discussion and input from the RIPE NCC membership before publishing a final version of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 by 9 September 2009. The RIPE NCC membership will vote on this version at the RIPE NCC General Meeting on 7 October 2009. The RIPE NCC notes that this proposal for the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 is subject to change based on advice from the RIPE NCC's lawyers on tax and legal issues. Membership discussion of the Draft Charging Scheme 2010 proposal can take place at <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

2007-01 Phase 2 Implementation: Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC
by Andrea Cima 28 May '09

28 May '09

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the RIPE NCC has implemented the second phase of "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC". In this phase the RIPE NCC will contact all LIRs to request information regarding existing direct resources requested through that LIR. This will be done via the LIR Portal. All LIR Portal users will receive a notification email on 28 May 2009 detailing the process. Details of the implementation are available at: http://www.ripe.net/rs/pi-existing-assignments.html Timelines: Before September 2009: LIRs need to indicate which resources should stay with that LIR. This will affect the charging scheme for 2010. Before 31 December 2009: LIRs must upload contracts and registration papers for all resources still associated with that LIR. More information on the requirements of the contractual agreement can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/membership/lir-end-user-requirements.html Kind regards, Andrea Cima RIPE NCC
