Dear colleagues,
There is still time to respond to the APNIC Survey 2012 and give a
direct contribution to APNIC's operational planning and future
direction. You do not have to be an APNIC Member to complete the Survey,
and you will only be asked questions that are relevant to you.
Kindly take a few minutes to fill out the Survey, which is available
until 8 June at:

Dear colleagues,
On 6 May 2012, the ICANN Board ratified GPP-IPv4-2011, "Global Policy
for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms" by IANA.
This global policy enables IANA to redistribute any recovered IPv4
address space equally amongst the RIRs.
Following the ratification of this global policy, on 22 May 2012 the
RIPE NCC returned to IANA the 1,368,576 legacy IPv4 addresses that have
been returned to the RIPE NCC and plans to return any other legacy
IPv4 address space that is returned to the organisation in the future.
For more information about this, please see:

The ICANN Board Resolution is available at:

Dear colleagues,
APNIC invites you to participate in the APNIC Survey 2012. This survey
has a section aimed at global stakeholders outside the Asia Pacific region.
Global stakeholders may answer questions about APNIC public services,
Internet governance, IPv6 deployment and global Internet development.
The survey is open until 31 May 2012. You can find the survey at:

Dear colleagues,
Please find the CFP for RIPE 65 below.
Kind regards,
Filiz Yilmaz
for the RIPE Programme Committee
-------------------
Call for Papers: RIPE 65
A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers,
network operators and other interested parties get together. Although
the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to
meet and network with others in their field.
RIPE 65 will take place on 24-28 September 2012 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals
from the RIPE community for the Plenary, BoF and tutorial sessions at
RIPE 65. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of
network engineering and operations, including but not limited to:
- IPv6 deployment
- Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations
- Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses
- Data center technologies
- Network and DNS operations
- Internet governance and regulatory practices
- Network and routing security
- Content delivery
- Internet peering and mobile data exchange
Submissions
Attendees of the RIPE meetings are quite sensitive to keeping
presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly
discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful
talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case
studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial
solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a
product demonstration.
Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include
speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a
neutral facilitator.
In addition to presentations selected in advance for the Plenary, the
RIPE PC also offers several time slots for “lightning talks” which are
selected immediately before or during the conference.
The following requirements apply:
- Proposals for talks, BoFs and panels must be submitted for full
consideration no later than 1 July 2012, using the meeting submission
system at:
https://meetings.ripe.net/pc/
Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a
space-available basis.
- Presenters should indicate how much time they will require (30
minutes for talks is a common maximum duration, although some talks
can be longer).
- Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they
contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated
later on). For BoFs and panels proposals must contain a clear
description as well as names of invited panelists/presenters.
- Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most if not
all presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE
meeting.
- Lightning talks should be submitted using the meeting submission
system. They must be short (10 minutes maximum) and often involve more
timely topics. They can be submitted at any time. The allocation of
lightning talk slots will be announced one day prior to the relevant
session.
If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions,
please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net.
Dear colleagues,
In accordance with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) Bylaws, the Number Resource Organization (NRO)
undertakes independent periodic reviews of the Address Supporting
Organization (ASO).
ITEMS International, a consultancy engaged by the NRO to conduct this
current review, delivered its report in early 2012. A public comment
period closed on 6 April 2012.
On 30 April 2012, the NRO submitted its considered response to the 26
recommendations of the report and the one recommendation received during
the ICANN public comment period. Its response was formulated with the
assistance of the ASO Address Council (ASO AC).
The NRO extends its thanks to all of those who have participated in this
process.
