NRO Response to ITU Comments on the Management of Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses
by Axel Pawlik 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Dear Colleagues, As part of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) process, a proposal has been made that could dramatically affect the way Internet number resources are distributed and managed. On 21 October 2004, the Director of ITU-TSB published a memorandum, "ITU and Internet Governance" for public comment. This memorandum includes a proposal to create a new IPv6 address space distribution process, based solely on national authorities. This could have a serious impact on RIPE NCC Members, Internet operators and the global Internet community at large. The Number Resource Organization (NRO), on behalf of the Regional Internet Registries, has prepared a public response to the ITU memorandum detailing the flaws of the proposal and the negative impact it would have on Internet operations. A summary of this response is available at: http://www.nro.net/documents/nro18.html The full response is available at: http://www.nro.net/documents/nro17.html The original ITU memorandum is available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/tsb-director/itut-wsis/files/zhao-netgov01.doc We urge our members and others in the Internet community to make their views about this issue known. Without your support being *visible* and *explicit* the bottom-up, consensus based model on which the success of the Internet has been founded may be replaced by the top-down bureaucracy of "Internet Governance". To show your support: - RIPE NCC Members: Log in to the LIR Portal and tick the support box. If you do not have an LIR Portal account, please email your expression of support to: contact(a)ripe.net - Non-members: Please email to: im-support(a)ripe.net. An email archive of expressions of support will be available at: http://www.ripe.net/maillists/ncc-archives/im-support/ - ITU-TSB Members: Please also contact your ITU member state representative to voice your concerns you might have. Internet number resource distribution is fair and accessible to all. Its policy development process is open and transparent. It works. Let us keep it that way. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

by Tim Chown 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Hi, The UK IPv6 Task Force, in conjunction with RIPE and the European IST IPv6 Cluster, is presenting a programme of IPv6 events from 23rd-24th September 2004. The UK IPv6 Deployment Conference, sponsored by BT and Cisco, is targeted at those interested in the current state of play in IPv6 deployment. It aims to present an overview of state-of-the-art in the latest IPv6 deployment technology, including: * Advanced testbeds, including the US Moonv6 project * Early IPv6 production deployments, in backbones and enterprises * IPv4-IPv6 transition and integration technologies * IPv6 opportunities: new technologies, delivery media and applications The Conference is co-located with the 49th RIPE Meeting of 20th-24th September, at which Europe's ISPs will gather to discuss technology and policy. We have scheduled a free European IST IPv6 Cluster meeting on the afternoon before the UK IPv6 Deployment Conference to allow our delegates the opportunity of attending an attractive, fuller one-and-a-half day programme of leading edge IPv6 talks and discussion should they wish to do so. For full details and registration information, please see: http://www.uk.ipv6tf.org/events/manchester.html Hope to see you in Manchester! Regards, Tim Chown UK IPv6 Task Force Steering Committee

Dear Colleagues, first my apologies for the latish announcement of the EOF program; putting it together has been a little more difficult than usual this time due to surprises created by and during the holiday period. This time we will have a game and a tutuorial, so you can already consider wheter to play on Monday evening. ;-) See you in Manchester. Daniel --------- Monday 1600 - 1730 The Peering Simulation Game William B. Norton (Equinix) Tuesday 0900 - 1030 Core Network Security Michael Behringer (Cisco) Tutorial Christian Panigl (UniVie / ACOnet) 1030 - 1100 C o f f e e 1100 - 1230 Core Network Security Tutorial (continued), Discussion --------- The Peering Simulation Game Presenter: William B. Norton (Equinix) Players: Volunteers from the Audience A classic, but never played before during RIPE meetings. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~randy/Courses/cs294.s02/PeeringGame.pdf --------- Tutorial Core Network Security Presenters: Michael Behringer (Cisco) Christian Panigl (UniVie / ACOnet) Abstract: Service provider networks have become key targets for hackers. Therefore it is important to re-view security of the entire core network, its devices and services. In this tutorial we give an overview about securing devices, routing protocols, and the overall core. Some new ideas such as infrastructure ACLs will also be discussed and their pros and cons will be highlighted. Agenda 30 mins: introduction and scope 60 mins: Fundamentals of core security --- break --- 30 mins: Routing security 30 mins: Infrastructure ACLs 30 mins: discussion/feedback pros & cons
