Registry - not a policy proposal
by Rob Blokzijl 05 May '10

05 May '10

[apologies for duplicate mails] Dear RIPE, soon there will be no more IPv4. However, we still have a registry of these addresses. Daniel Karrenberg and myself have produced a document (attached to this mail) which describes what we think the role of this registry should be after the runout of the unallocated IPv4 address space. We will present this document in the Address Policy WG, and would like to invite you to let us know your thoughts. The place for further discussion will be <address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net>. Thank you for your attention, Rob Blokzijl

Proposed text on RIPE NCC activities related to IPv6
by Patrik Fältström 04 May '10

04 May '10

Dear RIPE, On Wednesday, 5 May, 14:00-15:30, in room Bohemia, the Cooperation Working Group will have a normal meeting. Normal also from the point of how packed the agenda is. You can yourself see the agenda etc on this web page: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-60/agendas.php?wg=cooperation> Remote participation is possible. One of the Agenda Points is "E. RIPE Community Consultation on IPv6 and ITU". As you might be aware of, ITU-T is working on IPv6 issues, just like everyone else. You can find the ITU-T IPv6 webpage at this URL: <http://www.itu.int/net/ITU-T/ipv6/> There have been some discussions in the RIPE region related to this work. Enough so that we suggest RIPE is requestion RIPE NCC to actively participate in these discussions. This will be discussed on the RIPE Closing Plenary on Friday as well as during the Cooperation Working Group on Wednesday. The suggested text as of Tuesday morning is what you can see below. Roland Perry <roland(a)ripe.net> is the person that is holding the pen of the text if you want to discuss details in private with him. Patrik Fältström & Maria Häll, Chairs of the Cooperation Working Group ==== The RIPE community supports all efforts to assist in the deployment of IPv6, especially in developing countries. However, it notes some concerns recently expressed in the ITU IPv6 Group that the current IP address management system is inadequate to support operators in developing countries. The RIPE Community does not share these concerns and mandates the RIPE NCC, in consultation with the Community, to identify ways to address concerns (if any) within the current IP address management system. ====
