[GM] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 - Two Options to Vote On
by Gwen van Berne 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Dear colleagues, Members will vote on the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 at the General Meeting from 22-24 May. In response to requests from members, the Executive Board is proposing two charging scheme options that the members can choose from at the GM. An overview of the two options is also available that explains the two models in more detail. The overview and the two charging schemes are available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/supporting-d… In short, the options that members will choose between are: Option A: The RIPE NCC will maintain the existing charging scheme, according to which members pay an annual fee of EUR 1,400 plus an extra EUR 50 per independent number resource assignment. Option B: The RIPE NCC will switch to a new volume-based, per registration charging scheme. This would involve lowering the annual fee to EUR 1,150 whilst broadening the applicability of the separate EUR 50 charge to all number registrations held by the member. See the full list of registrations that would be charged in the document. The existing sign-up fee of EUR 2,000 will apply to both options. We encourage members to discuss the options on the Member Discuss mailing list at <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. The Executive Board and the RIPE NCC Management will follow discussions closely ahead of the GM. If you have not yet registered for the GM, we strongly encourage you to do so and make sure you have your say on which of two distinct charging scheme options should be adopted in May. Full participation and voting options are available for all members. You can register now via the LIR Portal at: https://www.ripe.net/s/gm-registration-may-2019 All details on the GM, including the draft agenda, are available from: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/ Kind regards, Gwen van Berne Chief Financial Officer RIPE NCC

[news] IPv6 Allocation from IANA
by Ingrid Wijte 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the following IPv6 allocation from IANA on 13 March 2019: 2001:3c00::/22 In 2004, IANA reserved this block for possible future allocation to the RIPE NCC. We requested this specific prefix because it completes a block previously allocated to the RIPE NCC: 2001:2000::/20 RIPE NCC 2004-05-04 whois.ripe.net https://rdap.db.ripe.net/ ALLOCATED 2001:3000::/21 RIPE NCC 2004-05-04 whois.ripe.net https://rdap.db.ripe.net/ ALLOCATED 2001:3800::/22 RIPE NCC 2004-05-04 whois.ripe.net https://rdap.db.ripe.net/ ALLOCATED 2001:3c00::/22 RIPE NCC 2019-03-12 whois.ripe.net https://rdap.db.ripe.net/ ALLOCATED 2001:4000::/23 RIPE NCC 2004-06-11 whois.ripe.net https://rdap.db.ripe.net/ ALLOCATED (https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-unicast-address-assignments/ipv6-unic…) Best regards, Ingrid Wijte Registration Services Assistant Manager and Policy Development RIPE NCC

[news] RIPE NCC Receives /23 from IANA’s Recovered Pool
by Ingrid Wijte 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Dear colleagues, On 1 March 2019, the RIPE NCC and the other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) were each allocated the equivalent of a /23 of IPv4 address space from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). We received the following IPv4 address ranges: 160.20.229.0/24 192.94.78.0/24 This returned address space will be added to our free pool and distributed according to the current IPv4 policy. LIRs that have already received their final /22 are NOT eligible to receive any further allocations from the RIPE NCC. You can find the IPv4 policy here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-708 Following the exhaustion of IANA's free pool of IPv4 addresses in 2011, when the RIRs received their final /8s, a global policy caused IANA to create a recovered pool of leftover and returned IPv4 address blocks. This policy was ratified by all five RIR communities in 2012 and stated that IANA would begin making equal, periodic allocations from the recovered pool when the first RIR reached a /9 of remaining addresses. This point was reached by LACNIC, the RIR for Latin America and the Caribbean on 20 May 2014, triggering the global policy and the first post-exhaustion allocation from IANA. You can read the global policy here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion-2012-… It is important that network operators continue to deploy IPv6 on their networks to ensure the future growth of the Internet. Our website has more information on IPv6 deployment: https://www.ripe.net/publications/ipv6-info-centre Regards, Ingrid Wijte Assistant Manager Registration Services and Policy Development RIPE NCC
