Decommissioning Recognised IPv4 Transfer Brokers List and IPv4 Transfer Listing Service
by James Kennedy 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, At its meeting on 6 October 2023, the RIPE NCC Executive Board resolved to decommission the Recognised IPv4 Transfer Brokers List and the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service [1]. Following from this, we are currently in the process of removing the brokers list and informing all of the brokers that we have signed a ‘Recognised IPv4 Broker Agreement’ with. The Recognised IPv4 Transfer Brokers List will be removed from our website on 31 December 2023. We also plan to start decommissioning the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service after RIPE 87 and expect this to be completed in Q1 2024. As noted in the Executive Board meeting minutes, the brokers list is no longer fulfilling its intended purpose. At the same time, the IPv4 Transfer Listing Service has reached the end of its life and requires significant development work, which we do not have the resources for. The Board therefore decided to retire both services. Ending these services makes us wonder what role, if any, the RIPE NCC should play in the IPv4 transfer market going forward. I will briefly discuss this in my update at the RIPE NCC Services Working Group during RIPE 87 next week. We plan to start a consultation in early 2024 to ask members and the community what they would like to see from us here. Regards, James Kennedy Chief Registry Officer RIPE NCC [1] 168th Executive Board Meeting Minutes: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2023/minutes-168th-ex…

Update of RIPE NCC Procedural Document : Closure Procedure
by Kevin Brennan 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Procedural document 'Closure of Members, Deregistration of Internet Resources and Legacy Resources' has been reviewed and updated. The following is an overview of the amendment made. Section A.1.2.2. (e) Termination with Immediate Effect was amended through deletion of the wording which required official postal notification, alongside the official notification by email, for termination of the RIPE NCC Standard Service Agreement (SSA) in the case of non-payment of the annual contribution (service fee) after a period of 120 days from the date of invoice. The main reason for this change is that the final notification of termination of the SSA by post is superfluous in the case of termination of the SSA due to non-payment as the member has already received numerous periodic notifications over the course of 120 days and the cause for termination in these instances cannot, in any event, be refuted. Further, termination due to non-payment is the most frequent cause for termination of the SSA and therefore removing the postal notification requirement will reduce the RIPE NCC's administrative burden and associated costs. Thus, in future cases whereby a member’s SSA is terminated due to non-payment the member will receive official notification by email only to their registered contacts. You can find the updated documents at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-808 Kind regards, Kevin Brennan Legal Counsel RIPE NCC

2023-03 Proposal Accepted (Voluntary Transfer Lock)
by Angela Dall'Ara 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

Dear colleagues,   Consensus has been reached on 2023-03 "Voluntary Transfer Lock".   This policy proposal aimed to allow holders of resources registered with the RIPE NCC to inform the RIPE NCC that certain resources must not be transferred for a certain amount of time. You can find the full proposal at:    https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-03 The new RIPE Document is called ripe-806 and is available at:  https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-806 The following RIPE policy has been updated as well and received a new document number: ripe-807, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies"  https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-807 We estimate that this proposal will take around two months to fully implement. In order to ensure a correct and consistent handling of requests, the current procedures remain in place until the implementation is completed. This applies in particular to: RIPE NCC Executive Board resolution EB#163-R-02 https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2022/minutes-163rd-ex… Registry Lock Request Form https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/reg… We will send another announcement once the implementation is complete and the new procedures are in place.   Thanks to everyone who provided input.    Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC

2023-03 Voluntary Transfer Lock
by Rob Evans 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

Hi all, No additional comments were received during the Concluding Phase (Last Call) for policy proposal 2023-03, allowing the RIPE NCC to implement a Voluntary Transfer Lock. https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2023-03 As the PDP states, "If there is no feedback from the community at this stage, this is likely to be regarded as consensus and it will mean the previous call of rough consensus from the WG chairs at the end of the Review Phase still holds.” Hence, we believe consensus has been reached and the RIPE NCC may assume there is community backing to implement the Voluntary Transfer Lock as described in the proposal. Cheers, Rob on behalf of the NCC Services WG Co-chairs.
