Email Resource Requests No Longer Supported
by Ingrid Wijte 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, On 7 October 2014, we announced our timeline for phasing out the text-based email request forms on our website: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-services-wg/2014-October/002890… While the forms themselves were archived in March, we have continued accepting these forms to allow members time to adjust their internal processes. As the final part of this implementation, we will now no longer accept resource requests by email. Members can now use either the request forms available through the LIR Portal, or the Resource Request API which can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/support/documentation/developer-documentation/resource… In order to maintain transparency, we have also published the information LIRs need to provide in order to complete a request form: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/supporting-not… Kind regards Ingrid Wijte Registration Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC

Single-purpose "LIRs"
by Daniel Suchy 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hello, as already discussed in APWG, there're some LIRs, who were opened just to obtain additional /22 IPv4 block from last /8 and shortly after allocation receipt they're "organizationally merged". Part of this problem might be solved by 2015-01 policy proposal. But not all... Question, which I would like to ask is procedure, how RIPE NCC checks validity of informations provided by merged LIRs (for example, how is verified claimed company acquisition and so on). It seems only claims from "merged" LIRs are sufficient to allow merge. I think, some LIR merges were approved by RIPE NCC even in the fact no organizational-merge happens on the market and both organizations remain functional and doing their original business without any change. The only true reason is reducing expenses (pay one LIR instead of multiple ones) after address space is allocated. Another question is, what happens, if "already merged/closed" LIR of some "branch" is reopened? It will receive additional /22? This question is focused to internal RIPE NCC procedures - as community policies doesn't regulate that in detail. But if internal procedure of RIPE NCC is weak and allows such merges without any resist and (very) deep verifications, anyone can easily abuse original spirit of /8 policy. And I think policy spirit is also important - not every situation can be covered in advance by some policy paragraphs - that's not really possible. And policy abusers will be always one step ahead. I think one of RIPE NCC roles is protection of policy spirit, not only policy letter - and allowing such "merges" helps plungers, which're opening short-term LIRs for few months purposely. With regards, Daniel

Chair selection process
by Lindqvist Kurt Erik 19 May '15

19 May '15

All, in London we discussed the chair selection process without much feedback. I promised to write up the slides I had made in text and send to list and we would then follow that process. The process outlined in London was as follows : RIPE NCC-Services WG Chair Selection process The RIPE NCC Services WG shall have at least two Working Group chairs and a maximum of three. The RIPE NCC Services WG Chairs are selected for a two year period, and one of the chairs will stand down every year. The chair not standing down shall make a call for interested parties on the RIPE NCC Services WG mailing list. Interested parties then have a two week period to make their interest known. After this, the chair(s) not up for selection will issue a two week discussion period where the RIPE NCC Services WG community can express approval or otherwise for the candidates that have expressed interest. At the end of the two week discussion period the chair(s) not up for selection will call consensus for the candidate(s). Appeals will follow the normal WG chair appeal process from the RIPE PDP. The little feedback we got on the mailing list and and the meeting I believe is consensus., but I’d like to with this email start a two week last call on the proposed process. We will have a brief a discussion in Amsterdam, and then per the above start the call for nominees as per above. -- Best regards, Lindqvist Kurt Erik kurtis(a)kurtis.pp.se
