Updated 4th Draft SLA for the IANA Numbering Services
by Athina Fragkouli 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Dear Colleagues Please find below the NRO announcement on the 4th draft Service Level Agreement for the IANA Numbering Services. The announcement is available at: https://www.nro.net/news/updated-4th-draft-sla-for-the-iana-numbering-servi… Athina Fragkouli Head of Legal RIPE NCC ----------- UPDATED FOURTH DRAFT SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT FOR THE IANA NUMBERING SERVICES (SLAv4) AND CALL TO ICANN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SIGNING THE SLA 25 February 2016 Background On 15 January 2015, the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team submitted the Internet Number Community Proposal to the request for proposals issued by the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG). One of the key elements of the Internet Number Community proposal is to replace the current NTIA IANA agreement with a new contract, a Service Level Agreement (SLA), between the IANA Numbering Services Operator and the five RIRs. A first draft of the SLA was published on 1 May 2015 and opened for public comments until 14 June 2015. The first draft of the SLA is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-v1 A second draft of the SLA was published on 6 August 2015 and opened for public comments until 31 August 2015. The second draft of the SLA is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-v2 A third draft of the SLA was published on 30 October 2015 and invited ICANN legal staff to provide comments by November 30th 2015. The third draft of the SLA is available at https://www.nro.net/sla-v3 Fourth Draft SLA As a result of ICANN comments on the third draft of the SLA and a clarification call on Tuesday January 26th (https://www.nro.net/pipermail/ianaxfer/2016-February/000725.html) a fourth draft of the SLA has been produced and available at https://www.nro.net/sla For the sake of clarity, you can find a track changes version of SLAv4 against the third draft at: https://www.nro.net/sla-track-changes Additionally, a document with the comments on SLAv3 and the legal team responses is available at: https://www.nro.net/slav3-comments In accordance with the transparency commitment with the community, we share the exchange of a clear track of comments between ICANN and RIR staff working towards a final SLA document. About the Fourth Draft SLA The fourth draft of the SLA has been developed by a team consisting of individuals from different RIRs. It responds to the principles included in the Internet Number Community proposal and is based on the already existing provisions of the NTIA IANA agreement. The content of SLAv4 is the result of consideration of public comments received during the public comment period on the second draft SLA as well as informational meetings with ICANN staff regarding the operational provisions of the SLA and ICANN’s written comments regarding the third draft SLA. It remains written in such a way that it can be signed as part of the implementation of the IANA transition when this occurs or before, without pre-judging the outcome of the ICG coordinated proposal. The SLA includes legally important provisions, such as those that regulate the five RIRs acting together and being responsible collectively in its dealings with ICANN under the SLA. It includes background and definitions. The SLA also includes explanatory footnotes that reference the source of each article according to the Internet Number Community proposal principles or the NTIA IANA agreement. Next Steps The RIRs thank the community and ICANN staff for its thoughtful comments and now publish this SLAv4 in the interest of transparency and keeping the community apprised of progress being made on the SLA. We trust that all comments and concerns have been addressed and that the current draft, SLAv4, represents a mutually acceptable SLA that is consistent with the principles found within the Internet Number Community proposal. We invite ICANN staff to take the appropriate steps so that we can move forward with signing of this SLA as soon as possible, preferably during the ICANN 55 Meeting in Marrakech Morocco.

Greg answered that IETF wants diversification in their funding sources. Jari acknowledged that. Martin responded that he doesn't support extra bureaucracy being thrown at anything. Nurani Nimpuno (Netnod) said she thought it to be a good thing to have diversification of funds, and interprets this proposal as a way of diversification, not necessarily increase of funds. Salam Yamout (RIPE NCC Executive Board) asked if the IETF is also looking for independence. Jari stated the goal is to broaden the financial support. The IETF will still need an organisational home. Greg added that there is a very good working relationship between IETF and ISOC, and stated that the proposal is a long-term endeavour. Daniel Karrenberg (as private person) asked about transparency in the proposal. He said he finds the current story to vague, and acknowledges IETF does great work. He mentioned ISOC being well funded so this is about ISOC setting priorities, and said that ISOC could put down the endowment itself. Jari provided details about budget. Regarding ISOC contribution, Jari said that that would likely increase. Greg detailed current ISOC funding, and said ISOC will always be investing in the IETF. Leah Symekher (ISC) asked how to expand participation for IETF and how to diversify the participation. Jari answered that IETF brings in fellows into the IETF meetings for this, and to build on participants who are interested long-term. He said IETF has multiple tools like the mentoring programme at the IETF to bring in new participants. Mirjam Kuehne (RIPE NCC) said the RIRs contribute membership money into ISOC specifically earmarked to support IETF and wondered what will happen with that. Greg said it's for IETF operating expenses, which is a different thing from the endowment proposal.

Wilfried clarified that it is binding for the RIPE NCC, but its no legal mechanism to enforce it in another party in a dispute. Ondrej thanked the ripe ncc secretariat. Nurani asked if there is a roll-over procedure for arbiters. Wilfried clarified that it is the responsibility of the RIPE NCC management or the general meeting, but there is no fixed mandate. F.

RIPE NCC as escrow
by Max Tulyev 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Hello All! I would like to ask (and may be start a policy proposal) either RIPE NCC has or plan to implement the escrow service for members? People from a lot of countries and companies buy and sell IPv4 address space now. As the price of that resource is high, cost of that deals raise to millions of Euros. So it is a bit scare and even danger to send some millions to some unknown company in doubtful place. Why RIPE NCC? 1. RIPE NCC is exactly that entity who do (or reject to do) the IPv4 transfer. Tha't the main point. RIPE NCC hostmasters using RIPE rules evaluate the request and papers for IP transfer. Most of all escrow companies don't even know what IP address is, and who is wrong or right in potential conflict based on IP transfer. 2. RIPE NCC itself has enough financial resources to garant that type of deals, even if this is several millions of Euros. 3. Unlike any other escrow agencies, RIPE NCC has maximum level of trust at both buying and selling IPv4 parties. How it can be realised? 1. Both parties agrees use RIPE NCC as escrow. 2. (optional) RIPE NCC pre-evaluate transfer request to find common mistakes or problems, like 24-month ban for transfer of already transferred resources, etc. 3. If all seems good for the first view, Buyer sends money to RIPE NCC. 4. RIPE NCC receives money and informs seller about it, and exact amount of money was received. 5. Buyer and Seller signs transfer contract and RIPE NCC hostmasters start to evaluate a transfer request. 6. If transfer fails for any reason (no signed contract, bad papers, etc), RIPE NCC returns payment to the Buyer. If transfer went good, RIPE NCC releases money to the Seller. I believe all members trade their IP resources will be happy to have that service! ;)
