Additional LIR accounts
by Nigel Titley 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear Colleagues, The ability for RIPE NCC members to again open additional LIR accounts was confirmed at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) on 27 May 2016. At the GM, members approved the following resolution: "The General Meeting approves the ability of RIPE NCC members to create additional LIR accounts." Members had always been able to open additional LIR accounts until the RIPE NCC Executive Board suspended this ability in November 2015. The resolution approved by members at the GM restores the ability to open additional accounts. The RIPE NCC has been working on an implementation plan since the GM. This plan has been put forward to make sure that the ability to open additional LIR accounts is in line with the spirit of RIPE Policy. The Executive Board has reviewed the plan and approved the following conditions being applied to additional LIR applications: 1. Transfer of resources between LIR accounts of the same member will fall under the transfer policy. This aligns the transfer of resources between LIR accounts of the same member with the transfer procedures the RIPE NCC applies to transfers between LIR accounts of different members. The transfer policy will now apply to all transfers, regardless of whether the transfer is between the same or different members. In practice, this means that the IPv4 allocation will only be transferable between LIR accounts of the same member after 24 months. The document ripe-648, "Transfer of Internet Number Resources and Change of a Member’s Official Legal Name", has been updated by ripe-654 to reflect this alignment (see section 3.5, Transfer of Internet Number Resources and Change of a Member’s Official Legal Name). You can view ripe-654 at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-654 2. Only one application will be processed at a time. Members can only make an application for an additional LIR account when there is no other application being processed on their behalf. This aligns more closely with the spirit of the "Last /8" Policy. The RIPE NCC will be able to distribute the IPv4 resources more fairly. Operationally, this also allows the RIPE NCC to process the LIR account applications in a timely fashion. 3. An LIR Account Agreement needs to be signed by the member for an additional LIR account. For transparency and due diligence purposes, the Terms and Conditions for the use of an LIR account will be explicitly outlined and the member will be asked to agree to them by signing a relevant agreement. You can view the LIR Account Agreement at: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/legal/ripe-ncc-lir-account-agreement More information about multiple LIR accounts can be found in the following FAQs: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/info/faqs/faq-joining https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/tra… If you have any questions about the new procedure, please contact the RIPE NCC at <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Nigel Titley RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman

ICANN and Regional Internet Registries Sign SLA for the IANA Numbering Services
by Nick Hyrka 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO) ICANN and Regional Internet Registries Sign SLA for the IANA Numbering Services Helsinki, Finland – 29 June 2016. The RIRs and ICANN signed the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the IANA Numbering Services today at ICANN 56 in Helsinki, Finland. This agreement documents the arrangements for provision by ICANN of IANA numbering services, after the IANA stewardship transition which is expected to occur on 30 September 2016. The SLA will only come into effect with the transition, and will have no effect whatsoever before that time. This event is a significant milestone in the long process of transition planning which started in March 2014 with US Government announcement. The process involved huge efforts by the Internet number community collectively, and by teams formed specifically to carry out the work. In particular the NRO Executive Council expresses its sincere thanks for the contribution by CRISP members during the last year and a half in the IANA Stewardship Transition Process. The CRISP Team worked tirelessly to integrate and consolidate the views from the five different regional communities into a single proposal. As the work of the CRISP team is now finally complete, we hereby announce that the team is formally dissolved. Finally the NRO EC also wishes acknowledge the support of the ICANN Board and staff who worked hard with us to finalise the SLA and ensure it was completed on time. The final version of the SLA is available at: http://www.nro.net/sla

Introducing the RIPE Forum
by Marco Schmidt 30 May '16

30 May '16

Dear colleagues, There’s a new way to participate on the RIPE Working Group mailing lists: the RIPE Forum, a web-based interface for reading and sending emails on RIPE community mailing lists. We developed the RIPE Forum in-house based on feedback we received from members of the RIPE community who wanted the option to interact and share information in a more modern way. It’s important to note that this new interface is completely optional – those who like using the established mailing list system can continue as they always have, and won’t notice any difference. Several weeks ago the RIPE Forum was deployed on the RIPE Atlas mailing list as a pilot. The test was a success, with no major issues detected, and very positive comments were received from users. We presented the results to the RIPE Working Group Chairs and, based on their feedback, decided to deploy the RIPE Forum to all RIPE Working Group mailing lists. We invite you to have a look yourself: https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum/ We created a special mailing list for testing purposes, so that any conversations about the platform itself can be contained there without disrupting the regular flow of discussions on the RIPE Working Group mailing lists. Feel free to send test messages and try out the RIPE Forum on this special list: https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum/ripe-forum-test If you’d like to learn more about how the RIPE Forum works or the background behind the project, please take a look at the presentation given last week during RIPE 72 and the RIPE Labs article that was published for the pilot phase: https://ripe72.ripe.net/archives/video/242/ https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_schmidt/introducing-the-ripe-forum The forum is still in “beta” phase – there might still be some bugs and we are continuously working to improve things, so please keep that in mind while exploring the forum. You can give your feedback by clicking on the “Report a bug” button on the forum, or leave a comment on the above RIPE Labs article. We hope you’ll enjoy the RIPE Forum, and we look forward to your feedback! Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

by Serge Radovcic 27 May '16

27 May '16

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Survey 2016 is now online. You can take the survey at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2016 We ask that you take this very important survey for the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community, and that you encourage your colleagues and contacts to participate. The survey is carried out by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), which guarantees anonymity for participants and independent assessment of results. It will remain open until 30 June 2016. There are no limits on who can take the survey. RIPE NCC members as well as other interested parties globally are asked to participate. If many people in the same organisation would like to take the survey, they are welcome to do so. The survey conducted in 2013 by the OII provided us with 48 key findings that the RIPE NCC was able to act on, and we hope this survey will provide similarly useful feedback. This is your chance to let the RIPE NCC know exactly what you think and give your suggestions for how the organisation should operate. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Prize Draws ----------- To encourage participation, the RIPE NCC is offering participants the chance to win an iPad Air 2 if they complete the survey. The iPad draws will take place: - Wednesday, 1 June - Wednesday, 8 June - Wednesday, 15 June - Wednesday, 22 June - Friday, 1 July The earlier you fill out the survey, the more chances you will have to win a prize. If you have any questions about the survey, you can email us at <survey2016(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC
