Draft Plenary Minutes RIPE 36
by RIPE NCC Meeting Registration 23 Aug '00

23 Aug '00

Dear Colleagues, [ Apologies for duplicate mails ] Please find below the RIPE 36 draft plenary minutes. The draft plenary minutes are also available on our website at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/plenary-minutes.html Kind regards, Sylvana Wenderhold --------- 36 RIPE Meeting Plenary Minutes - DRAFT RIPE 36 Budapest, 16-19 May, 2000 Plenary Session Chair: Rob Blokzijl Scribe: Sylvana Wenderhold 1. Opening and welcome 2. Agenda 3. Minutes from RIPE 35 4. From the Chair 5. News from ICANN - Mike Norris (MITF) - Mike Roberts (President and CEO) 6. Reports from the RIPE NCC 7. Reports from: - ARIN (Richard Jimmerson) - APNIC (Paul Wilson) - AfriNIC (Antony Brooks) - LacNIC (German Valdez) 8. New developments in Transatlantic cable systems (Daniele Bovio) 9. Reports from the Working Groups 10. Next RIPE meetings 11. AOB 12. Close 1. - Opening and welcome RIPE Chair Rob Blokzijl welcomed the participants to the RIPE 36 meeting. 2. - The agenda Agenda item 5 was shifted to a later time, as Mike Norris had not yet arrived. 3. - Minutes from RIPE 35 The minutes were approved. 4. - From the Chair Rob thanked Matav and Matav net very much for providing the connectivity for the meeting. He also thanked Elender for the computers supplied in the terminal room. The Chair urged participants to clearly state their names and use the microphone when asking questions. Louis Touton addressed the audience concerning the ICANN Independent Review Panel Nominating Committee. This Nominating Committee consists of two individuals appointed by the ICANN Address Council, along with two by the ICANN Names Council and two by the ICANN Protocol Council. The Address Council has been asked to identify its two appointments and is seeking recommendations from the community. The Nominating Committee to which appointments are being made is responsible for nominating the members of the ICANN Independent Review Panel, which addresses complaints from the community that ICANN is violating its bylaws, etc. Members of the Independent Review Panel should be current or retired judges, or people with the legal training to be judges. Since those serving on the Independent Review Panel will not be compensated, the Nominating Committee members appointed by the Address Council should be situated to persuade well-qualified individuals to volunteer to serve on the Independent Review Panel. Thus, ideal appointments to the Nominating Committee would be those people who know judges. One important condition is that the people appointed cannot be directly involved with the ICANN process (i.e. they cannot be ICANN Directors, staff, or advisors, members of the Address Council, etc.). 5. - News from ICANN - Mike Norris Please see the slides of Mike Norris's presentation at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ Mike Norris informed the audience about the ICANN At Large structure and the ASO. The ASO is well represented with Hans Petter Holen, Wilfried Woeber and Sabine Jaume from this region together with three members from the Americas and three from the Asia Pacific region. Rob Blokzijl sits on the board of ICANN itself. ICANN board elections are coming up in November. Registration is open to anyone. Mike would like to see more people register for the At Large membership. For information about ICANN and the elections please visit: http://www.icann-ineurope.org - Mike Roberts (President and CEO) Rob was proud to introduce Mike Roberts who was one of the highest ICANN officials ever to visit a RIPE meeting. Mike Roberts provided a few words of where ICANN is today and where it is going. He explained that ICANN is a product of one of the Internet's many scaling crises, in fact created as a result of the major success of the Internet. He enlightened the audience with some background information about how ICANN was established as a non-profit corporation independent from the US government. It has become a very diversified organisation with an international perspective. The goal is an independent ICANN with very little government involvement. Mike Roberts pointed out three difficult issues for ICANN at this time: A. Manner in which new generic top level domain should be introduced. The question is not should there be more, but under what circumstances and conditions should there be more. B. Revisions to RFC 1591 ICP 1. (Domain Name System Structure and Delegation) This deals with the relationship between the US government and the top level domain administrators. These relationships need to be formalised. C. Internet addressing should receive as much attention as the names issue has received. 6. - Reports from the RIPE NCC Axel Pawlik provided the RIPE NCC status report: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ His presentation focused on three main areas: - Services - Co-ordination - RIPE NCC Priorities Registration Services: The workload around the allocation of IPv4 addresses is constantly increasing. Still there was good news; the wait queue is down to five days from seven days. IPv6: The revision of the policy document is still ongoing. Membership: A milestone of 2000 members has been reached. The membership is constantly increasing at a rate larger than expected. New members per region 1999: Europe 258 (551), Middle East, 8 (31), Africa 3 (8) Number of requests: This year the number of requests has not dropped under 1600 per month. RIPE NCC Hostcount: It is beyond 11.000.000 after the first quarter of this year. RIPE Database: There was a problem with the database in March. It was down for five hours. Updates were kept aside and handled later. There was a small incident the day before the RIPE 36 plenary session. However, in the event of such occurrences the spare server takes over, so these problems will go unnoticed in the future. Data protection: A lot of data is protected. PGP is the most secure way to protect data, yet only two percent is protected using PGP. Axel encouraged the members to start using PGP, particularly as it is offered for free. At the next RIPE meeting there will be additional effort to promote this mechanism. Database reimplementation: The project is nearly finished. Currently we have a server prototype. The RIPE NCC has set up a test database for users of the RIPE database to send trial updates to. External Communications: - RIPE NCC Annual Report 1999 The 1999 Annual Report has been sent to members. Copies are available at the RIPE NCC <ncc(a)ripe.net> - RIPE NCC awareness RIPE NCC receives many invitations to give presentations and participate in panels. The RIPE NCC has also been busy meeting with various new players in the industry. - New LIR course material successfully introduced The first five courses taught with the new material have been very well received. Locations for upcoming LIR Training Courses (courses up to September will be held in): - Athens - Prague - Amsterdam - Riyadh - Madrid - Geneva - Paris - Berlin - Vienna More information is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/training/index.html New projects: - Routing Information Service (RIS) For more information, please see the following presentation: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ - Test Traffic Measurements (TTM) - Moving from an experimental project to a regular service - Preparing roll out the next series of test-boxes - Improving and adding components based on the TTM data Regional Internet Registry (RIR) Co-ordination: - RIR retreat - Attended ARIN, APRICOT and AfriNIC meetings Axel welcomed the various members of the other RIRs at the RIPE 36 meeting in Budapest. He reported that the co-ordination between the RIRs has been very successful so far. RIRs have decided to split on a split of the total amount of the contribution toward ICANN's first financial year that comes to an end at the end of June 2000. (RIPE NCC: 50%, ARIN: 35%, APNIC, 25%) The Address Supporting Organisation (ASO) general assembly meeting is gathering for the first time after the RIPE meeting in Budapest on Friday, 19 May 2000. Axel invited the RIPE NCC membership to join the meeting. RIPE NCC Priorities: - Continuing to ensure and further improve stable, reliable and high quality services The wait queue is down. However, the RIPE NCC will continue to work towards getting the queue down to a level that is acceptable to all members. - Respond to members' needs and develop and propose services as needed - Further increase RIPE NCC and RIPE awareness Question from Christian Panigl: Why does the RIPE NCC fund 50% of the ICANN-ASO budget intended for RIRs and ARIN only 35%? Axel: This is the first year's split between the registries. We have looked at the degree of establishment, budget and turnover. These numbers point to this split. Rob: The money comes from the RIPE NCC budget and has been approved by the membership. Axel introduces Joao Silva Damas who presented a proposal to revise the RIPE document store. Most documents are fairly static and do not require frequent updating. Some however, change frequently (policies and procedures document, the request forms etc.). If they are referenced in other documents and the document number changes, these documents need to be updated as well. This requires a lot of work. It would make it easier if the numbers would remain the same. Joao proposes to have an option to freeze the number of certain documents (the ones that change frequently). After lively discussion it was decided to keep the system as it is and review the RIPE NCC's internal procedures on document revision. Later a detailed proposal will be presented to the RIPE community. Generally there was agreement that more active use of the document titles rather than its numbers would make referencing these documents easier. 7. - Reports from: (ARIN, APNIC, AfirNIC and LacNIC) ARIN (Richard Jimmerson) Please see the presentation at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ Richard Jimmerson introduced himself as the Registration Services Manager at ARIN. Structure of ARIN: - currently 1001 members - six board of trustees members - advisory committee of 15 members - president - executive assistant - four divisions 1. registration services group 2. member services division 3. engineering division 4. administration division ARIN currently has 23 staff members. ARIN activities are very much the same as other RIRs. Some highlights from the presentation: - Fees revised for registration category level upgrades ARIN no longer bills for upgrades. ARIN will now invoice the organisation at the new registration category level on their next anniversary date. - Maximum allocation size increased to /13 A handful of organisations outgrew the /14. To meet their requirements, the maximum allocation size has been increased to /13. - Postal address for residential reassignments may be omitted Individuals with a /29 or smaller still need to be listed in the ARIN database, but instead of listing the postal address they now use the ISP contact information. - ARIN training soon to be offered ARIN does not offer training, but will soon be offering training within their region on a request basis. One difference with the RIPE NCC is that ARIN issues address space based on an organisation's three month needs instead of a one year need. They require members to gives updates on their address space every three months. ARIN then reserves address space for one year. If the organisation does not need this space within one year, it will be allocated to another organisation. ARIN has a registration services helpdesk and saw a 74% increase in the number of phone calls received in the last year. The type of phone calls received are from people who need help filling out templates, and have questions about policies, guidelines and criteria. ARIN has received 6 requests for IPv6 allocation. They have approved and allocated 4 at this time. ARIN priorities: - Development of new tools to aid hostmasters in daily activities - Developments of external training materials - Increase level of customer service ARIN staff visits many meetings and conferences to increase awareness about their organisation. Questions: Jeroen Bet: How does ARIN ensure quality of customer services? Richard: We looks at the quality of mail that has been sent out. We also look at the performance of the individual hostmasters. Sometimes members are approached to discuss any problems. APNIC (Paul Wilson) For a presentation about APNIC please see: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ - APNIC staff has doubled in the last year. They have 16 staff at present but will grow to 21. - Almost doubled the membership. APNIC experienced a decrease growth during the Asia crisis, but now records are broken monthly in terms of membership growth. - They have issued an equivalent /8 in the last 16 months of operation. Allocation rate is picking up dramatically. - Paul explained that they align their charging model to the number of allocations to an organisation. This would naturally place the organisations into the small/ medium/ large/ very large categories. APNIC in 2000. - Software automation - to support resource and allocation processes - Customer support - help desk and member care programme - Documentation - improved user interface - on-line help with forms - translation of core documents Overall, all aspects of APNIC are clearly growing. APNIC meeting will take place 25-27 October, 2000 in Brisbane, Australia. APNIC welcomes all who are interested to participate in the APNIC meeting. Questions: Question: How many IPv6 allocation requests has APNIC received? Paul: We have had 14 requests, and allocated 12 subTLAS so far. Japan is very active in the IPv6 community. There has been a Chinese request as well and we expect a lot more requests in the future. AfriNIC (Antony Brooks) Please see Ant's presentation at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ In his presentation, Ant Brooks elaborated on the challenges AfriNIC is facing. Despite a consensus in Africa about the establishment of AfriNIC, it has been difficult to realise any concrete structure. 1999 was the year of anti-progress. Among the reasons were the fact that they didn't have market representation and none of the submissions for a host country was workable. Particularly disastrous was the pull out of South Africa from the process, as 80% of the Internet activity is located in South Africa. Another problem has been the language barrier. There has been some Francophone and Anglophone tension in the region. This problem seems to have been solved now as much attention is given to simultaneous translation in French and English. Gladly, in 2000 there has been a great deal of progress. A lot of effort has been made to get South Africa involved once again. At the recent conference in Cape Town, AfriNIC reached a breakthrough. There was both strong geographic and market representation. The RIRs were all represented at the conference, leading to a warm support of AfriNIC. Where is AfriNIC today? - Structure Bylaws accepted by principle Membership structure (voluntary) Board of Trustees Executive staff Funding model (but without figures) - Representation Interim Board of Trustees accepted ASO observer selected (Antony Brooks) Two listeners chosen (Mouhamet Diop, Nii Quaynor) - Working groups BoT advisory committee Policy working group Antony pointed out that the only way AfriNIC would become a success is by creating stability. He explained that large ISPs worry about the success of AfriNIC specifically because they are concerned about the lack of stability as a regional registry. Small ISPs on the other hand, worry about the minimum allocations. Not many organisations need large allocations at this point in time. There is a propsal to have the initial AfriNIC staff be located at the RIPE NCC premises. This would ensure the desired stability as it offers both technical and financial solidity. The other RIRs strongly advise against the suggestion ofmultiple locations for the office in Africa. - Possible pit-falls Lack of a clear path to the final goal Financial viability Taking Africans out of Africa (there are not enough skilled people in the region) http://www.afrinic.org LacNIC (German Valdez) Due to German's late arrival, this presentation did not take place. German gave his presentation at the ASO meeting (Friday, 19 May 2000 in Budapest). Please see the ASO Meeting minutes when they become available on: http://www.aso.icann.org 8. - New developments in transatlantic cable systems (Daniele Bovio) Please see the presentation at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ 9. - Reports from the Working Groups Database Working Group ---------------------- 48 participants Scribe: Nigel Titley Chair: Wilfried Woeber Wilfried will receive help from Nigel Titley and Ulf Kieber with the working group in the future. Nigel will take care of the PR part of it and Ulf will help co-ordinate the working group. The chair has received approval from the working group on this issue. Reports from RIPE NCC: - Operational update - Software re-implementation Report form APNIC by Paul Wilson: - CA activities, (ask for representation) Results and actions: - To work even more closely with CENTR to move the domain data to their own database. Ask CENTR to present a progress report regularly. - To arrange for a digital signature and certification course workshop for RIPE 37 - Activity plan for RIPE NCC in 2001 Input from other working groups is welcomed EIX "exchange" object => propsosal invited - Use of XML (for a common report template) => proposal invited There were no questions.

Status of IPv6 Allocation Guideline draft End-user assignments: It is currently discussed on which boundary end-user assignments should be made. Action on David: Summarise pro/cons to the findings and discussions and concerns brought forward to the list. There were no questions. LIR Working Group ----------------- 101 participants Scribe: Eamonn McGuiness Chair: Hans Petter Holen Wait Queue - Nurani and Joao presented substantial plans to improve the current situation - The wait queue is now down to eight days - The goal is to bring the queue down to two days - In order to complement the internal process a Task Force was formed comprised of members of the LIR WG. This task force will gather comment from the community on: - metrics such as the best possible delay - broken parts in the current process and policies - ways to improve communication flow They will report back to the working group in a short and clear document and deliver this to the RIPE NCC as input for the processes and policies review. Pre RIR address space - as a follow up question to the ARIN presentation the question on how to deal with address space predating the RIRs was raised. - The RIRs have a project to distribute the address space to the appropriate registry. Minimum allocation size Consensus on changing policy to: - The minimum allocation size will be /20 - Not before 01 August 2000 - Identify allocation size on RIPE address blocks and publish in a machine readably format by 15 June 2000 Please see the following URL for Hans Petter's complete presentation: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-36/presentations/ Hans Petter also provided a glance at the agenda of the upcoming LIR working group in Amsterdam.

RIPE Region Hostcount for July 2000
by RIPE Hostcount Maintainer 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Dear All, below is the hostcount for July 2000. The table shows an increase since last month of over 380,000 (or 3,4%) to a total of about 11,775,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The es domain shows the highest increase for July with approximately 110,000 hosts more than in June. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The January, 2000 data had to be reused for uk due to problems in the last months with co.uk. The uk data is therefore, unfortunately, severely outdated. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Edgar D Danielyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg EUN Staff es Susana Gayo.

Press Release from the GSM Association & The RIPE NCC
by RIPE NCC Staff 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

[Apologies for duplicate mails] GSM ASSOCIATION & THE RIPE NCC, THE EUROPEAN REGIONAL INTERNET REGISTRY CLARIFY IP ADDRESSING FOR GPRS INFRASTRUCTURE The GSM Association and the RIPE NCC (Rï¿½seaux IP Europï¿½ens Network Coordination Centre), the European Regional Internet Registry have jointly agreed to the process to enable GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) roaming services to be supported by operators globally. The GSM Association entered into discussions with the RIPE NCC earlier this year initiated by a proposal for infrastructure addresses to support GPRS roaming. The proposal was initially greeted with uncertainty within the RIPE community due to concerns over the amount of addresses requested - although as a result of subsequent meetings and clarification of existing address policies the GSM Association's proposal was modified and issues of concern have been addressed and resolved. A key result of the discussion is that a task force - the GPRS Infrastructure IP Addressing Working Party - was formed with expertise from the IP/ISP community, the GSM/GPRS community and the RIPE NCC and already a constructive meeting of task force members has taken place. At this meeting the GSM Association's members clarified their needs, ISPs raised their concerns and the RIPE NCC clarified its existing IP address allocation policies and procedures. The results of the task force meeting were presented to the overall RIPE community during its recent meeting and the principal results were as follows: ï¿½ Public IPv4 address space can be used in parts of the GPRS network infrastructure ï¿½ Existing IP address allocation policies and procedures apply ï¿½ Requests from mobile network operators can be sent directly to the RIPE NCC or their data network backbone providers These processes will be communicated to the global addressing community by the RIPE NCC for review by the other Regional Internet Registries and their respective constituencies. The GSM Association's IREG (International Roaming Experts Group) has initiated discussions with the RIPE NCC to clarify the existing process for obtaining these IP addresses. The RIPE NCC has already received IP address requests from GPRS operators as a result. Address requirements for mobile devices are still not finalised and work continues on determining the needs of GPRS terminals and third generation mobile systems. The results of the GPRS Task Force meeting can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/gprs/ For more information, please contact: Mark Smith Paul Rendek Director of Communications Communications Manager The GSM Association RIPE NCC Tel: +44 207 659 0430 Tel: +31 20 535 4444 Fax: +44 207 659 0431 Fax +31 20 535 4445 Email: msmith(a)gsm.org Email: rendek(a)ripe.net VISIT THE HOME OF GSM ON THE WEB - HTTP://WWW.GSMWORLD.COM Notes for Editors: About the GSM Association: The GSM Association is the world's leading wireless industry representative body, consisting of more than 450 second and third Generation network operators, satellite operators, key manufacturers & suppliers to the GSM industry, regulators and administrative bodies. Membership of the Association spans 150 countries and areas of the world. The GSM Association is responsible for the development, deployment and evolution of the GSM system for digital wireless communications and for the promotion of the GSM platform. The Association's members provide digital GSM wireless services to more than 330 million* customers (end-June 2000) across five continents of the world. The GSM system accounts for approximately 55 percent of the world's wireless market, and 66 percent of the total digital wireless market. About RIPE NCC (RIPE Network Coordination Centre): The RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) is one of 3 Regional Internet Registries (RIR) providing IP address allocation and registration services which support the operation of the Internet globally. The RIPE NCC performs activities for the benefit of its membership; primarily activities that its members need to organise as a group, even though they may compete in other areas. The membership is primarily comprised of Internet Service Providers (ISP) and its service region incorporates Europe, The Middle East, Central Asia and African countries located north of the equator. The services provided ensure the fair distribution of global Internet resources in the RIPE NCC service region required for the stable and reliable operation of the Internet. This includes the allocation of Internet (IP) address space, interdomain routing identifiers (currently BGP autonomous system numbers), and the management of reverse domain name space (currently in-addr.arpa and ip6.int) The RIPE NCC also provides services for the benefit of the Internet community at large including the development and maintenance of the RIPE Database, administrative support for the RIPE community, and the development and co-ordination of new projects. The RIPE NCC currently supports over 2000 Local Internet Registries (LIRs) who collectively form the RIPE NCC membership. Membership is open to anyone using the RIPE NCC services. Visit: http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/ About RIPE (Rï¿½seaux IP Europï¿½ens): RIPE (Rï¿½seaux IP Europï¿½ens) is a collaborative organisation open to organisations and individuals, operating wide area IP networks in Europe and beyond. The objective of RIPE is to ensure the administrative and technical co-ordination necessary to enable operation of a pan-European IP network. RIPE does not operate a network of its own. Currently, more than 1000 organisations participate in the work. The result of the RIPE co-ordination effort is that an individual end-user is presented with a uniform IP service on his or her desktop irrespective of the particular network his or her workstation is attached to. In November 1999, nearly 10,000,000 hosts were reachable via networks co-ordinated by RIPE. RIPE has no formal membership and its activities are performed on a voluntary basis, except the activities performed by the RIPE NCC. Most of the work happens inside several Working Groups. Each of these working groups has a mailing list where relevant topics and questions can be discussed. RIPE Working Groups meet 3 times a year during RIPE meetings.

There's always a risk in making predictions (especially about the future), but at this rate we'll have as many SOAs as hosts in Europe this time next year; in other words, we'll have reached the milestone of an average of one host per domain.
