2007-01 Implementation: Model agreement and charging requirements?
by Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

The announcement about implemntation of 2007-01 was distributed on Feb, 12, 2009, pointing to: http://www.ripe.net/membership/lir-end-user-requirements.html At the bottom of this page there is the phrase: "A model agreement and its terms will be provided here shortly." Can we still expect to see such a model text before March 3, 2009, the "effective date" of implementation? In particular, I am interested in guidance on: "End User must pay an annual maintenance fee to the LIR for the resources." because I wouldn't want to implement a separate charging scheme for our customers holding PI resources, and which already do have a contract and are charged for our connectivity services on a less granular basis. Of course, a surcharge of 0,-- <put currency code here> would be fine :-) Regards, Wilfried.

Test Database for ASPLAIN Implmentation
by Denis Walker 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC is preparing for the implementation of the IETF RFC 5396. This defines the representation of all AS Numbers in the ASPLAIN format. There is now a test RIPE Database server available using the new software for ASPLAIN. It is a static copy of the NRTM RIPE Database from 19 February 2009, excluding all personal data. All ASDOT objects and references have been converted to ASPLAIN. We did a very simple conversion on this test database which may have broken some referential integrity rules. If you experience any problems please contact <asn32(a)ripe.net>. To access this test database: Query: whois-asn32-test.ripe.net (port 43) Mailupdates: asn32-test-dbm(a)ripe.net Syncupdates: http(s)://syncupdates-asn32-test.db.ripe.net Please test any internal scripts or third party tools you may use for accessing the RIPE Database which involve AS Numbers. Please send any feedback or comments by 13 March 2009 to <asn32(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC

2007-01 Implementation: Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC
by Andrea Cima 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that phase one of policy proposal 2007-01, "Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC", will be implemented on 3 March 2009. This change will require that an End User have a contractual relationship with a sponsoring LIR or the RIPE NCC before the End User can receive Internet number resources (Autonomous System (AS) Number, Provider Independent (PI) IPv4 and IPv6, Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and anycasting assignments) directly from the RIPE NCC. The full text of policy proposal 2007-01 can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2007-01.html Phase one addresses the implementation of the new policy in relation to all new requests for independent numbering resource assignments. Please note that from 3 March 2009, End Users requesting independent numbering resources must sign a contract with a sponsoring LIR or with the RIPE NCC in order to receive those resources. Requests for independent numbering resources that do not demonstrate such a contract will not be processed by the RIPE NCC. Information on the required content of contracts between End Users and sponsoring LIRs is available at: http://www.ripe.net/membership/lir-end-user-requirements.html Phase two of policy proposal 2007-01 will address the contractual relationship between End Users who hold previously assigned independent numbering resources and the RIPE NCC or a sponsoring LIR. A plan for implementation of this phase will be presented at the next meeting of the RIPE NCC Services Working Group, which will take place at the RIPE 58 Meeting in Amsterdam from 4-8 May 2009. Kind regards, Andrea Cima RIPE NCC

Deletion of unreferenced PERSON and ROLE objects
by Denis Walker 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC will start to delete unreferenced PERSON and ROLE objects from the RIPE Database on Monday, 26 January 2009. Any PERSON or ROLE object that remains unreferenced by any operational resource for 21 consecutive days will be marked for deletion. It can be deleted at any time after this period if it remains unreferenced. Unused MNTNER objects that only maintain unreferenced PERSON or ROLE objects will also be marked and then deleted. To minimise any impact on Database Services, a small number of objects will be deleted on a daily basis. The number of daily deletions will gradually increase. It is expected to take several months to remove the backlog of unreferenced objects. After the backlog is removed, all unreferenced PERSON and ROLE objects, and in some cases their MNTNER objects, will be deleted after being unreferenced for 21 consecutive days. For more details, please refer to this support page: http://www.ripe.net/db/support/cleanup-unreferenced-data.html If you have any questions about this, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC
