Call for volunteers: editorial group to revise "Charging by Local Internet Registries" document
by leo vegoda 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

Dear Colleagues, Last month at RIPE 46 the RIPE Address Policy Working Group (AP WG) discussed the RIPE document "Charging by Local Internet Registries" (ripe-152). The document was published in 1996 and describes "charging for services by Internet registries and indicates acceptable practice for such charging". It can be found at: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/chargingbylirs.html> Particular attention was given to the statement that "registries may charge for their administrative and technical services, they may not charge for name space or address space as such; no unit cost or price tag can be attached to a domain name or to an IP address, public or private." It was agreed that an editorial group of volunteers from the community should be formed discuss the document and suggest changes to its text and content. A mailing list has been created for this discussion. The list is open to anyone wishing to participate. If you want to subscribe to the list you can do so via the web interface at: <http://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ripe-152bis> Additionally, a web archive of the discussion can be found at: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/ripe-152bis> Kind regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services Manager

The il domain shows the highest increase for July with approximately 200,000 hosts more than in June. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The February, 2003 data was used for dk due to their having a corrupted count this month.
