Announcement: RIPE NCC General Manager
by Keith Mitchell 24 Feb '99

24 Feb '99

Dear RIPE NCC Members, It is with great regret that the RIPE NCC Executive Board announces the resignation of Daniel Karrenberg as General Manager of the RIPE NCC effective no later than July 1999. Daniel's motivation to end his responsibilities as General Manager of the RIPE NCC is personal and family related. Daniel wishes to spend more quality time with his family and his wife looks forward to the opportunity of resuming her professional career. The executive Board fully understands and accepts the reasons behind Daniel's decision to vacate his function. The Board will shortly be advertising the position and contracting a professional recruitment organisation to help with the administrative side of finding a suitable replacement. This process is in keeping with the openness and neutrality in which the RIPE NCC operates. The new manager will be selected by the RIPE NCC Executive Board, as the RIPE NCC statutes stipulate. We hope to announce a decision before May. Daniel's absolute commitment to the success of the RIPE NCC over the past seven years is sincerely appreciated by the Board. The Board welcomes his willingness to stay with the RIPE NCC to work on new projects and services. We will work both with him and the new management to define a suitable arrangement. Regards, Keith Mitchell RIPE NCC Chairman

Dear All, below is the hostcount for January 1999. The table shows an increase since last month of around 330,000 hosts (or 4,2%) to a total of almost exactly 8,200,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The fr domain shows the highest increase for January with approximately 112,000 hosts more than in December. - More Information - More detailed information on the hostcount can be found at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/hostcount/ The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The increase for fr is quite noteworthy. Most of the new hosts come from the 84 zones with 1000+ hosts. The subtraction of 1 host in one of the subtotals lines at the end of the table comes from the ly TLD, for which transfers were restricted this month. ly contributed a single host last month. Other TLD's from the RIPE Region which were not included, usually due to zone transfer problems at the top level: eh et gm kw sd so st tg - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: ad Joan Marc Lauga at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy vasoula(a)ucy.ac.cy cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen es Susana Gayo.

Other ISPF scheduled events include three days of educational sessions, panel discussions, and round-table meetings, a vendor exhibit hall and presentations as well as two days of intensive pre-conference training sessions. "Our sessions will be organized into specific tracks to help ISPs make most efficient use of their time," ISPF Conference Chair Jason Simonds says. "We have a dynamic mix of hand-on workshops, interactive discussions, and educational sessions planned that will benefit ISPs of all sizes.

ICANN Mailing List
by Jay Fenello 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Hello Esther, As we approach the public comment period on the various proposals expected by ICANN, the Internet community is left without a mailing list of record -- the IFWP list is dead! This is unacceptable!!! To accommodate the discussions surrounding the PSO, ASO, DNSO, and MAC proposals, I humbly suggest that ICANN host a generic policy list ASAP. At the very least, ICANN should designate a single external list as the list of record. I suspect that ORSC and others would be happy to host such a list, and could have one operational within 24 hours. This needs to be addressed quickly. To do otherwise is inconsistent with the open process requirements of the White Paper. Respectfully, Jay Fenello President, Iperdome, Inc. 404-943-0524 http://www.iperdome.com

Re: possible protest of the NTIA/NIST/ICANN/IANA contract action.
by Jay Fenello 18 Jan '99

18 Jan '99

ORSC has lead the fight to make ICANN more open. Many people have supported us in these efforts. Now, we have another opportunity to do so. While I'm not a government contracts expert, it would appear that this NIST transfer of responsibility is giving ICANN control over the assets that will be delegated to the PSO and the ASO. If this is true, then the USG is giving up their oversight over these functions. And this is happening without ICANN being open, without ICANN having a membership structure, and without ICANN having any SOs (supporting organizations) defined and/or constituted. If ORSC is to object to this single source award, my suggestion is that we do so *only* to force ICANN to present a business and a financial plan to the Internet community -- not an unreasonable expectation. With that said, I am copying this to the IFWP, POISED, and the RIR lists for comments and suggestions!? Jay. At 1/18/99, 12:19 PM, Richard J.
