RIPE NCC Statement on New IANA
by Daniel Karrenberg 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

RIPE NCC statement on New IANA In June 1998, the RIPE NCC Executive Board reviewed the US Government White Paper at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/6_5_98dns.htm and welcomed it, especially the emphasis on self-administration for the Internet. In particular, the RIPE NCC believed then and believes now that for stability of operation, the technical work of the new IANA corporation must be initially built out from the existing IANA technical team hosted by the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California under the direction of Jon Postel. The RIPE NCC has considered the draft bylaws of the new IANA corporation as most recently revised and posted at http://www.iana.org/bylaws3.html. While we recognize deficiencies in the present draft and wish that they be remedied, the RIPE NCC endorses the draft as the basis for the final bylaws and encourages all parties to continue discussions to achieve consensus on such a final version. The RIPE NCC repeats its earlier commitments to provide its fair share of the operational costs of the new IANA. As a first step the RIPE NCC provides US$25,000 to the University of Southern California to help cover costs associated with the establishment of the new IANA and as an initial contribution to the operational costs. These monies have already been made available in April 1997 when the continuation of IANA operational funding from the US government for FY98 had not yet been secured. The RIPE NCC commits to work with the existing Regional Registries and others to establish the "Address Supporting Organisation" and have it recognised by the new IANA as soon as practical.

European Hostcount for August 1998
by RIPE NCC Hostcount Maintainer 05 Sep '98

05 Sep '98

Dear All, below is the hostcount for August 1998. The table shows an increase since last month of over 260,000 (or 3.8%) to a total of approximately 7.25 million hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The dk domain shows the highest increase for August with approximately 75,000 hosts more than in July. - Annotations to this Hostcount - cz shows a zero increase. We were not able to arrange the transfer of the data in time. The numbers for cz are therefore identical to last month. Apologies for this. - Other Ways to Obtain the Hostcount - The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes All this data can also be found at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/hostcount.html If you are interested in the historic hostcount data, bunyip Information Services has hosted the complete set of data since 1994 under ftp://ftp.bunyip.com/pub/netstats/ripe - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <Gerhard.Winkler(a)univie.ac.at> be DNS-BE Registration Office <tech(a)dns.de> ch Marcel Schneider <schneider(a)switch.ch> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag(a)eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk(a)TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Morten Christensen <morten(a)dk-hostmaster.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez(a)rediris.es> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard(a)inria.fr> gr Dimitris Zisiadis <zisiadis(a)forthnet.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric(a)stribor.srce.hr> ie Mike Norris <mnorris(a)heanet.ie> il Shuki Kenan <shuki(a)netvision.net.il> it Maurizio Martinelli <M.Martinelli(a)cnuce.cnr.it> Daniele Vannozzi <D.Vannozzi(a)cnuce.cnr.it> li Marcel Schneider <schneider(a)switch.ch> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no> pl Mirek Luc <mirek(a)nask.pl> pt Armando Domingues <armando(a)rccn.net> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr(a)ripn.net> sk Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias(a)uakom.sk> sm Maurizio Martinelli <M.Martinelli(a)cnuce.cnr.it> Daniele Vannozzi <D.Vannozzi(a)cnuce.cnr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener(a)knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Robert Stone <robert(a)nosc.ja.net> Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley(a)nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

The UK Forum of the Association of Chief Police Officers, Internet Service Providers, and Government is presenting three one-day seminars entitled: "Policing the Internet" Working together to address issues and allay concerns These are being held to identify, discuss and address issues relating to policing of the Internet in the UK. In particular, we are developing a partnership process to ensure that criminal investigations involving the Internet are carried out quickly and efficiently with a minimum impact on the business of the industry.

Revised RIPE Document: RIPE-176
by Frederike Ritzema 07 Aug '98

07 Aug '98

Revised RIPE Document Announcement ---------------------------------- Ref: ripe-176 Title: RIPE NCC Articles of Association Updated: 7 August 1998 Format: PS=409735 TXT=90741 Short update description ------------------------ In this document, ripe-176, you can now not only find the English, but also the Dutch version of the Dutch articles of association for the RIPE NCC. The RIPE NCC was formally established when the Dutch version of these articles of association were deposited with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce on 12 November 1997. In this translation an attempt has been made to be as literal as possible without jeopardizing the overall continuity. Inevitably, differences may occur in translation, and if so the Dutch text will by law govern. Accessing the RIPE document store --------------------------------- The RIPE document store is available via anonymous FTP to ftp.ripe.net, in the directory ripe/docs. The URLs for the new documents on the FTP-server are: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-176.ps PostScript version ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-176.txt plain text version You can also access the RIPE documents in HTML format via WWW. RIPE-176 is not available from the WWW at this moment, but will be soon, at the following URL: http://www.ripe.net/docs/ripe-176.html Documents can also be retrieved from the RIPE document store using a mail server program. For more information on how to use the program, send email to <mail-server(a)ripe.net> with "send HELP" in the body text.
