05 Jun '96

Dear all, Here is the hostcount for May 1996. The table shows an increase since last month of almost 140,000 (or 5.3%) to a total of over 2,700,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. DE shows the highest increase for May with almost 20,000 hosts more than in April. 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 I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <winkler(a)cc.univie.ac.at> be Herman Moons <Herman.Moons(a)CS.kuleuven.ac.be> ch Christoph Graf <graf(a)chx400.switch.ch> cy Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj(a)ics.forth.gr> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag(a)eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk(a)TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Robert Martin-Legene <robert(a)dknet.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez(a)rediris.es> fi Petri Ojala <ojala(a)eunet.fi> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard(a)inria.fr> gr Dimitris Zisiadis <zisiadis(a)forthnet.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric(a)stribor.srce.hr> hu Gabor Kiss <kissg(a)sztaki.hu> ie Mike Norris <mnorris(a)dalkey.hea.ie> il Sason Levi <sason(a)NetVision.net.il> it Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no> pl Irek Neska <irek(a)nask.pl> pt Armando Domingues <fccn(a)dns.pt> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr(a)argo.net.kiae.su> sk Ivan Lescak <Ivan.Lescak(a)Slovakia.EU.net> Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias(a)uakom.sk> sm Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener(a)knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley(a)nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi, +--- Start of included message from: Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no ----- | | Hi, | | I recently reviewed my notes from the last RIPE meeting (Berlin), and | one of the items on the plenary agenda was "EU and regulation". | Apparently someone from the EU commission had taken an initiative | where it was said | | "... investigate all the problems of the european Internet | with the possibility for regulation ... " | | Needless to say, that didn't get much support at the RIPE meeting, and | as far as I remember someone (including the RIPE chairman(?)) would Yes | get in touch with the relevant people from the commission and arrange | an informal meeting with the intention to exchange information (both | ways) concerning this. | | Has there been any progress on this item, and if so, what was the | outcome? Yes, sort of: I have almost a date fixed (took 3 phone calls only :-)) The Commission really feels the need to get into contact with true European Internet players, since they are regularly being approached by US organisations like Microsoft who offered to introduce them to the Internet. | | Does this at all have something to do with the message Lubos Elias | sent to the RIPE mailing list on May 27th? Don't know, will find out. | | Regards, | | - H=E5vard | +--- End of included message from: Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no ----- Greetings, Rob

on line service = broadcasting ?
by Lubos Elias 27 May '96

27 May '96

Hi, I have read info saying there is a proposed law ( approved by the European Parliament and to be voted by the European Council of ministers ) that should bring some restrictions in advertisement in on-line services ( Internet, too ). On-line services should be categorized as broadcasting ( license needed ), limitation for foreign programs should be setup etc. Do you know if the law has been already approved and what is the final version ( is it on the net ? )? thanks, Lubos Elias elias(a)uakom.sk PS sorry, if this is not a right place where to ask

New RIPE Document Announcement -------------------------------------- A new document is available from the RIPE document store. Ref: ripe-136 Title: European Internet Registry Policies and Procedures Author: S. Dolderer, D. Karrenberg, M. Kuehne, M. Norris, C. Orange, W. Woeber, J. Zsako Date: 24 May 1996 Format: PS=670749 TXT=150515 bytes Obsoletes: ripe-104, ripe-105 Obsoleted by: Updates: Updated by: See also: Short content description ------------------------- A new document, ripe-136 , often referred to as "ripe-104++" is now available in the RIPE document store. The contents of this document regarding the policies and procedures for the distribution of public IP address space in Europe and surrounding areas, were approved by the RIPE community during the RIPE-23 meeting held in January 1996. The document contains five sections which describe the European Internet Registry system, policies and procedures for address space assignments and allocations, and finally procedures for reverse delegations related to the address space. The document should be used as a reference by all local IRs in the RIPE community. The document will be updated later in 1996 with sections added on Internet Registry operations and Routing Registry policies and procedures. The sections published may be modified according to the wishes of the RIPE contributors committee prior to the update. However, given the agreement of the RIPE community on the first sections, any changes are expected to be minor. A set of address space assignment forms and supporting notes for implementing the policies described in this document will follow shortly.
