Hi, On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 06:13:38AM +0000, Kennedy, James wrote: > Well done to Callum for highlighting this issue. I also commend > the /22 hoarding discussion.

One is "people managed to get large chunks of address space before the last-/8 policy kicked in, and got rich selling them" (Jump SRL is another example of this). There is not really anything we in address policy can do about this retroactively - and in any case, this is something that will certainly not happen again, as there are no big chunks to be received anymore (but of course the NCC will look into it if fraud happened, and the tax authorities might also be interested...) The other one is something we actually *can* do something as address policy community - reduce ongoing(!) unintended usage ("abuse") of the last-/8 policy. So here we are, and discuss 2015-01 :-) Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.

Re: New on RIPE Labs: IPv4 Transfers in the RIPE NCC Service Region
by Callum Stuart 11 May '15

11 May '15

Someone has made the comments on this article from ripe labs. Any comments from the community? How can this kind of thing happen in the ripe? Prior to the ripe depletion, it is even hard for my org to apply for a /19. Now my org can only apply for a /22! So as to keep low profile to have Lu Heng’s IPs sold. He had created another shell named Wuhan Yunwaiheng Information Technology Co., Ltd registered in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China ( its Chinese name is:武汉云外恒信息技术有限公司). And then have his IPs sold under this new shell without attracting too much attentions from the RIPE community. He has earned more than 4millions USD for selling his IPs. By the way, cos of this business structure, he can avoid heaps of taxes which should be paid to Netherland Gov and Overseas Gov. Rijksuniversiteit Groningen ( this is where Lu heng graduated) 31.201.0.0/16 2011-04-28 PA SOLD AS35916 (US） 37.222.0.0/15 PA SOLD AS16276 （ovh, France） ;AS35916 46.136.0.0/16 PA SOLD AS8312（kpn Netherland）;AS35916 5.132.0.0/16 2012-07-12 PA ( Split for sales） /17 left for future sale AS35916 5.224.0.0/15 2012-09-06 SOLD AS35916 178.236.224.0/20 PA Still available for Sale AS16276 Lu Heng still has /17 +/20 left available for Sale in RIPE and one aggregated Afrinic 154.80.0.0/12 ( Currently in Rental business). The Business structure of OutsideHeaven: The main Body of OutsideHeaven was registered in Tax heaven place ( Netherland). Then come the lower Body OutsideHeaven Hangzhou ( registered in Zhejiang Province of China) and the other lower Body Wuhan Yunwaiheng Information Technology ( registered in Hubei Province of China). Under this kind of structure, the company of Lu Heng has avoided to pay the taxes he should pay to the Chinese Government. His main Body registration info: His shell company’s registration info written in holland language. However, you can use google translate to understand. Please note this company does not pay any tax in Holland and in China.

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE Programme Committee is responsible for recruiting and selecting presentations for the RIPE Meeting Plenary sessions. As the term of two RIPE PC members end, we are looking for new members in 2015 who will be elected by the RIPE community at RIPE 70 in Amsterdam. The Charter of the RIPE Programme Committee (https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-pc-charter) provides more information about the composition and roles of the RIPE PC. There are currently two seats up for election to the RIPE PC. Please send nominations, with a biography, statement of interest and photograph, to pc(a)ripe.net. With the RIPE 70 PC elections, nominations can be sent in from today on until Tuesday May 12th, 15:30. We announce the PC elections at the RIPE meeting opening sessions, but interested parties can nominate themselves already. We will close candidate nominations on Tuesday 15:30, and publish the biographies on the RIPE Meeting web site. Candidates (or stand-ins for candidates) can present themselves at the start of the Tuesday 16:00 session. The RIPE PC online voting system will be open from Tuesday May 12th, 16:00 until Thursday May 14th, 17:30, for the community members to cast their votes. The official announcement of the elected RIPE PC members will be on Friday morning at the start of the 11:00 closing plenary session. Questions about the RIPE PC can be sent to pc(a)ripe.net.

[news] RIPE Policy Proposals - April Update
by Marco Schmidt 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '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 discussions about a proposal, please do so on the relevant working group mailing list. Proposals Open for Discussion: 2015-02, "Keep IPv6 PI When Requesting IPv6 Allocation" – discussion open until 13 May 2015 2014-03, "Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments" – discussion open until 19 May 2015 Proposals awaiting impact analysis: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations" Proposals accepted: 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources" Proposal Overviews: 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. STATUS: Discussion Phase WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 13 May 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-02 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. It is proposed to remove the need evaluation, limit the amount of AS Numbers per organization to 1,000 and require that 16-bit AS Numbers are multihomed after nine months. RIPE NCC IMPACT ANALYSIS: Includes point that it will be the End User that decides if the need for an AS Number is technically reasonable. STATUS: Review Phase (extended) WHERE TO COMMENT: The Address Policy Working Group – address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net DEADLINE: 19 May 2015 FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-03 ===== PROPOSAL: 2015-01, "Alignment of Transfer Requirements for IPv4 Allocations" OVERVIEW: Currently IPv4 allocations received from another LIR only can be re-allocated after 24 months, while IPv4 allocations made by the RIPE NCC can be transferred immediately. This proposal aims to align the transfer requirements with a 24 month holding period for all IPv4 allocations. STATUS: Discussion Phase - Awaiting Impact Analysis* FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-01 *The goal of the impact analysis is to provide supporting information to facilitate discussions about the proposal and to outline its possible impact if it were to be accepted. ===== The following proposal has been accepted since the last RIPE Policy Proposal Update. The RIPE NCC has started the implementation of this policy change. PROPOSAL: 2014-05, "Policy for Inter-RIR Transfers of Internet Resources" OVERVIEW: This proposal aims to allow the global transfer of Internet resources. For transfers to the RIPE NCC service region from RIRs that require needs-based policies, recipients must provide the RIPE NCC with a plan for the use of at least 50% of the transferred resources within five years. STATUS: Accepted EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION: August 2015* FULL PROPOSAL: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2014-05 *Note: the RIPE NCC will only follow a policy change once it has been completely implemented and announced to the community. This means that inter-RIR transfers will only be possible from around August 2015. The implementation status of accepted policy proposals can be reviewed here: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/policy-impleme… 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-… During the upcoming RIPE Meeting, the Address Policy Working Group will hold two sessions where ongoing and possible future policy proposals will be discussed. If you can not attend the RIPE Meeting in person, we invite you to join remotely. A live webcast and IRC chat facility will be available for remote participation. The two sessions will begin on 13 May at 7:00 and 9:00 (UTC). The remote participation will be available at: https://ripe70.ripe.net/ We look forward to your involvement in the PDP. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt RIPE Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
