Call for Comments for the Second Draft Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the IANA Numbering Services
by Nick Hyrka 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR COMMENTS FOR THE SECOND DRAFT SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA) FOR THE IANA NUMBERING SERVICES NRO – PUBLIC CONSULTATION Open until: 31 August 2015, 23:59 UTC Background On 15 January 2015, the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team submitted the Internet Number Community Proposal to the request for proposals issued by the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG). One of the key elements of the Internet Number Community proposal is to replace the current NTIA IANA agreement with a new contract, a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the IANA Numbering Services Operator and the five RIRs. A first draft of the SLA was produced on 1 May 2015 and opened for public comments until June 14th 2015. The first draft of the SLA is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-v1 Discussions about the development of the SLA have occurred in all RIR meetings at: APNIC 39 (2-6 March 2015), ARIN 35 (12-15 April 2015), RIPE 70 (11-15 May 2015), LACNIC 23 (18-22 May 2015) and AFRINIC 22 (3-5 June 2015). Results of this discussion are documented in the NRO website at: https://www.nro.net/sla-development Second Draft SLA As a result of the public consultation of the first draft of the SLA and the RIR meetings discussions, a second draft of the SLA has been produced and is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla For the sake of clarity, you can find a track changes version with the first draft at: https://www.nro.net/sla-track-changes Additionally, a document with the comments received during the consultation period and the legal team responses is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-comments All interested parties are now encouraged to review and comment on this second version of the draft proposal; including members of the RIRs, ICANN, and their communities; members of the CRISP Team and the ICG; and any other organisations and individuals. This call for public comments will remain open until 31 August, 2015 at 23:59 UTC. Comments can be submitted by any interested party to the <ianaxfer(a)nro.net> mailing list. Subscription to this list is open and available at: https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ianaxfer About the Second Draft SLA The draft SLA has been developed by a team of legal experts from different RIRs. It responds to the principles included in the Internet number community proposal and is based on the already existing provisions of the NTIA IANA agreement. The content of this draft is NOT the result of negotiations with ICANN or any other parties. It is written in such a way so that it can be signed as part of the implementation of the IANA transition when this occurs or before, without pre-judging the outcome of the ICG coordinated proposal. The draft includes legally important provisions, such as those that regulate the five RIRs acting together and being responsible collectively before ICANN. It includes background and definitions. This draft SLA also includes explanatory footnotes that reference the source of each article according to the Internet number community proposal principles or the NTIA IANA agreement. Next Steps During this final public comment period, the CRISP team is encouraged to review the draft SLA and its consistency with the principles of the Internet number community proposal. ICANN in particular is encouraged to review the draft in detail, and to submit any and all final comments during this period. All comments received by the deadline will be processed by the legal team of the RIRs and, as appropriate, included in a further and final draft of the SLA which will be presented to ICANN as the proposed final SLA. It is hoped that this document will be agreed by ICANN without further changes.

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR COMMENTS ON CCWG-ACCOUNTABILITY’S 2ND DRAFT PROPOSAL The Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) has published its 2nd Draft Proposal with proposed improvements to ICANN’s accountability framework. You can find the proposal here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-draft-2-proposal-work-stre… In a previous public comment period in May 2015, CCWG-Accountability sought feedback on the direction of its proposal and preferences among the alternatives that were proposed. CCWG-Accountability has incorporated this input and is now seeking agreement on whether or not the proposal meets the community’s requirements. The comment period closes on 12 September 2015 at 23:59 UTC. Comments can be submitted via a web page here: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-2015-08-03-en Two webinars will be held this week to discuss the proposal on 4 August 2015 from 19:00 – 21:00 UTC and 7 August 2015 from 07:00 – 09:00 UTC. More information is available here: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=54692681 Next Steps After the public comment period ends, CCWG-Accountability will reconvene to continue its work, aiming to finalise the Work Stream 1 proposal before submitting this to the Chartering Organisations and eventually to the ICANN Board of Directors.

Call for Comments on ICG's Draft IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal
by Nick Hyrka 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organisation (NRO). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR COMMENTS ON ICG’S DRAFT IANA STEWARDSHIP TRANSITION PROPOSAL The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) has published its draft IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal for public comment: https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-prop… Comments can be provided via an online form or by emailing <public-comments(a)ianacg.org> until 8 September 2015 at 23:59 (UTC). Comments need not be in-depth, simple statements of support are appreciated. All comments received will be publicly archived. The online form is available here: https://comments.ianacg.org/form More information can be found on the ICG’s public comment page here: https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-per… The ICG will also be hosting two webinars to discuss the proposal on 6 and 7 August 2015. More information is available here: https://www.ianacg.org/iana-stewardship-transition-coordination-group-icg-t… The ICG’s proposal integrates the separate proposals developed by the names, numbers and protocol parameters communities. The Internet Number Community’s Proposal was submitted to the ICG by the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team back in January 2015 and is available here: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ICG-RFP-Number-Resource-Proposal.pdf The Internet Number Community’s Proposal In the Internet Number Community Proposal, ICANN continues as the IANA Functions Operator for the IANA Numbering Services. A service level agreement between ICANN and the RIRs would be used to ensure that the IANA functions continue to be performed to the Number Community’s requirements. An independent review panel, made up of representatives from each RIR community, periodically reviews ICANN’s performance in meeting these identified service levels. Key priorities here were ensuring stability, security, reliability, quality of service and community empowerment. The community is very satisfied with ICANN’s performance as IANA Functions Operator and, as ICANN’s role is lightweight and purely administrative, there was no need for the proposal to introduce additional operational complexity. More detail can be found in the infographic here: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/Number_Community_Proposal_Overview.p… The CRISP Team and the NRO Executive Council are enthusiastic about the progress on the transition so far, and confident that the proposal reflects the will of the Internet Number Community. Next Steps Following the public comment period, the ICG will work on finalising its proposal and intends to publish the final document in October 2015, during ICANN 54 in Dublin. The ICANN Board of Directors will then deliver this document to the NTIA for review. Throughout these next steps, it is important that the Internet Number Community continues to express its views. You can join the NRO IANA Transfer Mailing List <ianaxfer(a)nro.net> to follow the discussions and updates on the process will be published on www.nro.net.

[news] RIPE Policy Proposals - July Update
by Marco Schmidt 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Dear colleagues, Please find below the monthly overview of open policy proposals and the stage they have reached in the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP). If you wish to join the discussion about a particular proposal, please do so on the relevant working group mailing list. Proposals Open for Discussion: 2015-03, “Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size” - discussion open until 7 August 2015 Proposals in Last Call: 2015-02, “Keep IPv6 PI When Requesting IPv6 Allocation” - Last Call until 6 August 2015 Proposals accepted: 2015-01, “Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations” Proposals Awaiting Input: 2014-03, “Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments” Proposal Overviews: PROPOSAL: 2015-03, “Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size” OVERVIEW: This proposal introduces new criteria for the evaluation of large IPv6 allocation requests. These new criteria are hierarchical and geographical structure and segmentation for security and planned longevity. The current requirements, number of users and extent of infrastructure, are retained. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the RIPE NCC’s understanding of what are reasonable limits for each of the criteria. STATUS: Review Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 7 August 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-03 ===== The following proposal is in Last Call. Rough consensus has been declared and the purpose of this phase is to give the community a final opportunity to present any well-justified objections to the proposal that have not already been raised and addressed during the previous discussion phases. PROPOSAL: 2015-02, “Keep IPv6 PI When Requesting IPv6 Allocation” OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to remove the requirement that LIRs should return their IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignment when requesting an IPv6 allocation. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that little impact is expected in terms of routing table growth. STATUS: Last Call WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 6 August 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-02 ===== The following proposal has been accepted since the last RIPE Policy Proposal Update. PROPOSAL: 2015-01, “Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations” OVERVIEW: Currently, IPv4 allocations received from another LIR can only be re-allocated after a 24 months, while IPv4 allocations made by the RIPE NCC can be transferred immediately. This proposal aims to align the transfer requirements by applying the same 24-month holding period to all IPv4 allocations. STATUS: Accepted EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: Implemented on 23 July 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-01 ===== The following proposal is awaiting input before it proceeds in the PDP. PROPOSAL: 2014-03, “Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments” OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to ease the requirements when requesting an Autonomous System (AS) Number. To this end, the following actions are proposed: - Remove the need for evaluation - Limit the number of AS Numbers per organisation to 1,000 - Require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes the point that it will be the End User that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically reasonable. STATUS: Review Phase - Awaiting New Proposal Version WHERE TO COMMENT: Address Policy Working Group: address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-03 ===== The RIPE NCC provides an overview of current RIPE Policy Proposals on www.ripe.net: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/current-proposals/current-policy-… We look forward to your involvement in the PDP.

Call for presentations RIPE 71
by Benno Overeinder 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 68 below or at https://ripe71.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is 13 September 2015. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc ---------------------------------------- Call for Presentations 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 71 will take place from 16-20 November 2015 in Bucharest, Romania. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 71. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats, https://ripe71.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 13 September 2015. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. 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 centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange Submissions RIPE Meeting attendees 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 should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe71.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe71.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice---in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panellists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/
