[news] New management interface for Resource Certification (RPKI)
by Alex Band 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Dear colleagues, Today, we are proud to launch the new management interface for Resource Certification (RPKI): https://certification.ripe.net/ (LIR Portal log-in required) This release marks the third major overhaul of the system since its launch in 2011. All of the user experiences and feedback we received from you since the initial launch have helped shape this new interface. While the previous interface focused on helping new users get started with the system, the new interface incorporates functionality to help existing users solve problems using sensible defaults and best practices. We also managed to simplify the interface even further, reducing it from three pages to one in a fresh new look. You can watch a quick tour of the new interface here: http://youtu.be/gLwHp12wOGw I would like to stress that this release is not the conclusion of our work to improve the RPKI interface. We made a conscious decision to not implement every possible feature but to use this as a foundation to expand the functionality based on your needs and input. For example, a requested feature we would like to incorporate is the ability for users to keep their RIPE Database ROUTE objects synchronised with their ROAs, thereby providing a single location for easy routing management and monitoring. We are eager to hear your feedback on the new interface. User input is vital as we continue to simplify resource management and improve the experience for LIR Portal users. If you have comments or suggestions for improved features, please let me know by responding to this mail or by voicing your opinion on the Routing Working Group mailing list <routing-wg(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

[news] IANA Stewardship: Give Feedback on the Draft Proposal From the RIR Communities
by Paul Rendek 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, The Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) team has published the first draft of an Internet numbers community proposal for the future of the IANA stewardship. The draft is available here: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/CRISP-IANA-PROPOSAL-First-Draft1.pdf This document represents the first effort to bring together the outcomes of IANA stewardship discussions in the five RIR communities. It aligns closely with the principles agreed by the RIPE community: - It proposes a new contractual arrangement between the RIRs and ICANN for ICANN’s continuing management of the IANA functions - It does not seek to change any of the existing global or regional policy development structures - It provides for review of the IANA operator’s performance and compliance with contractual obligations The draft also proposes forming a community-based Review Committee that would produce an annual, non-binding report on the performance of the IANA operator. This concept evolved from the Multistakeholder Oversight Numbers Council (MONC) that was originally proposed by the LACNIC community. Community feedback is being sought on this draft proposal, with a deadline of Monday, 5 January 2015. Feedback can be sent to the global NRO IANA Transfer mailing list, <ianaxfer(a)nro.net>, or can be sent to the appropriate regional mailing lists. The RIPE CRISP representatives will be closely following discussions on the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list, as well as the global discussion.

by Axel Pawlik 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the RIPE NCC's Activity Plan and Budget 2015 is now available. This definitive document has been approved by the RIPE NCC Executive Board with input from the RIPE community. It outlines the work we will undertake in the coming year and the associated costs for each activity. The document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-630 Changes have been made since the draft Activity Plan was introduced in September, prior to the last RIPE NCC General Meeting. In order to make members aware of all updates, a new appendix has been added to the document, outlining the changes introduced. These changes include the following updates: - The usage statistics provided for each activity have been updated with more current information. - Minor editorial changes have been made to the text. - The income from new LIRs has increased as a result of increased membership growth. - The Latest Estimate (LE) column in the budget for the 2014 financial year has been updated with the current and, therefore, more accurate information. The Activity Plan and Budget 2015 was discussed at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) on 5 November 2014. The minutes of that GM have been approved by the Executive Board and are now available at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/gm/november-2014/minutes-ripe-ncc-gen… Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
