[news] RPKI and PI End Users Proposal - Feedback Requested
by Axel Pawlik 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, Since the launch of the RIPE NCC resource certification (RPKI) system on 1 January 2011, more than 1,300 RIPE NCC members have requested a resource certificate. Together, they have created statements about BGP routing for over 3,000 prefixes, covering more than five /8 blocks. Currently, this system is only applicable to Provider Aggregatable (PA) address space held by RIPE NCC members. The functionality that we most commonly receive requests for is to make address space held by Provider Independent (PI) End Users eligible for certification. During the RIPE 65 Meeting in Amsterdam, there were discussions on this and the RIPE NCC Executive Board extensively deliberated the issue. Based on these discussions, the Executive Board now submits this proposal for consideration and discussion to you, the RIPE NCC membership and the RIPE community. One of the most important considerations when issuing a resource certificate is that it be given to the legitimate holder of the address space. This is fundamental to the reliability and trustworthiness of the system and to the goal of making our registry as robust as possible. To ensure that the resource certificate retains its authoritative value over time, it is important that the RIPE NCC periodically verifies the association between the resource and its holder. With our members, this is a straightforward process because we have direct contact with them at least once a year. Under current RIPE Policy, PI End Users who are not RIPE NCC members must have a contractual agreement with a sponsoring LIR (as detailed in ripe-452). Periodic verification of the resource holder could be handled by the sponsoring LIR. Also note that the RIPE NCC cannot enter into any contractual agreement with PI End Users, other than the "RIPE NCC Standard Service Agreement" (ripe-435). Therefore, the Executive Board proposes that PI End Users in the RIPE NCC service region who want to certify their resources be given both of the following two options: 1. Sign an agreement with their sponsoring LIR (a RIPE NCC member) to have the resources certified by the RIPE NCC via the sponsoring LIR. In this case, the sponsoring LIR would be responsible for periodically verifying that the PI End User is the legitimate holder of the resources. However, the RIPE NCC will in all cases be responsible for issuing the resource certificate and providing access to the RPKI management interface. Therefore, PI End Users should, at all times, be able to change from one sponsoring LIR to another while still retaining the same certificate for the resources that they hold. The cost associated with this option lies in building a framework in the LIR Portal to facilitate the process, some administrative overhead, and the additional burden on the RPKI infrastructure, that would not be funded by the direct beneficiary of the resource certification service. These costs would come out of the general RIPE NCC budget and would therefore be funded by all RIPE NCC members, however it is unlikely that this would have any direct impact on future membership fees. Alternatively a PI End User may choose to: 2. Become a RIPE NCC member, pay the full annual membership fee and receive a certificate directly through the RIPE NCC. The Executive Board feels that offering both of these options will result in relatively little impact on membership fees while offering all PI End Users the opportunity to certify their Internet number resources without being forced to become a member of the RIPE NCC. For the sake of completeness, we also present a third scenario discussed by the Executive Board that would involve giving PI End Users that have received resources through a sponsoring LIR the option to deal directly with the RIPE NCC without becoming a RIPE NCC member or needing to make contact with their sponsoring LIR. They could do this by authenticating the relevant INETNUM object using their MNTNER, and supplying additional information directly to the RIPE NCC (company registration papers, business address details, contact email, etc.) on a periodic basis (probably every 12-18 months). This option would not entail any fee or contractual agreement for the PI End User. However the Executive Board does not see this as a viable option, as the amount of resources required to check the necessary supporting documentation and other administrative overheads would be too large a financial burden on the RIPE NCC membership. The lack of a periodically-renewed contractual relationship with the PI End User, while providing them this service, may also cause complications. *IMPORTANT* Your opinions and feedback on this proposal are vital in shaping a resource certification system that best suits your needs. We encourage you to discuss this matter on the RIPE NCC members-discuss mailing list. Following approximately six weeks of discussion (ending on 30 March 2013), the Executive Board will consider feedback from the list and propose options on moving forward on this matter which will be properly communicated. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[news] RIPE NCC Survey 2011 - Key Findings and Actions
by Axel Pawlik 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, In 2011, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) carried out the RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011 on our behalf. There were 825 full responses, the most ever received for a RIPE NCC survey. The RIPE NCC is extremely grateful to all those who participated in the survey. The OII analysed the survey data and produced 52 key findings. Over the past 18 months, the RIPE NCC examined the key findings and took action on them where appropriate. The PDF document detailing all 52 key findings and the actions taken by the RIPE NCC is now available at: http://www.ripe.net/survey2011/key-findings-and-actions The document outlines the actions taken by the RIPE NCC so far, but it should be noted that work continues in all areas. If you would like to comment on the findings and actions, or on the document itself, please let us know at <feedback(a)ripe.net>. Any feedback received in the coming weeks would be particularly timely as we are currently preparing the RIPE NCC Survey 2013. This feedback will inform the 2013 survey and consequently the actions carried out by the RIPE NCC in response. The new survey will launch at the RIPE 66 Meeting in Dublin in May 2013. We look forward to your support in this project and hope you will participate in the survey. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

RIPE 66: Call for Papers
by Filiz Yilmaz 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 66 below. Note the deadline, 24 February 2013. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz for the RIPE Programme Committee http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc ------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers: RIPE 66 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 66 will take place on 13-17 May 2013 in Dublin, Ireland. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the Plenary, BoF and Tutorial sessions at RIPE 66. 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 Plenary talks, BoFs, Panels and Tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 24 February 2013, 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. ------------------------------------------------------------

NRO Observations on WCIT-12 Process
by Axel Pawlik 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

________________________________________________________________________ NRO Observations on WCIT-12 Process ________________________________________________________________________ The Number Resource Organisation (NRO) issued a statement on the outcomes of the recent World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) 12 process expressing its concern about aspects of the meetings, in particular, events from the last few days of the conference. Unfortunately, anticipated discussions were eclipsed by other debates, and did not satisfy initial expectations that: 1. WCIT would have no bearing on the internet, its governance or its content, and 2. The event would allow all voices to be heard. Importantly, the NRO also expressed concern that open multi-stakeholder conduct did not occur. The NRO strongly supports the WSIS 2005 principles on multi-stakeholder Internet governance, and will continue to participate in the ITU in expectation that the ITU's processes can evolve visibly and rapidly towards these accepted principles. For more information, please see the statement in its entirety here: http://www.nro.net/news/nro-observations-on-wcit-12-process Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC On behalf of the NRO Secretariat
