Dear colleagues, a couple of news from RIPE-75: you might find useful to know about them before the WG minutes are published. 1) Please find enclosed the NWI-5 proposal of the DB working group, which might be of interest for those who use the RIPE DB as input to build BGP filters. The proposal was discussed in the DB working group mailing list and at the RIPE-75 meeting. The DB WG co-chairs have declared it reached consensus and the implementation is progressing. 2) Joao Damas decided to step down as routing WG co-chair; your new co-chair is Ignas Bagdonas. On behalf of the WG, I wish to thank Joao for his many, many years in support of our activities and I welcome Ignas as new co-chair. As always, you can reach us at <routing-wg-chairs@ripe.net>. Regards, Paolo Moroni Routing WG co-chair ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: db-wg [mailto:db-wg-bounces@ripe.net] On Behalf Of William Sylvester via db-wg Sent: Donnerstag, 19. Oktober 2017 17:41 To: William Sylvester via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> Subject: [db-wg] NWI-5 Out of region ROUTE(6)/AUT-NUM objects implementation request DB-WG Members, Support was shown for the proposal NWI-5 and no objections were raised after this round of discussion. At this time, the chairs request that the RIPE NCC schedule implementation of NWI-5 as described. This request is to remove origin: and flag route objects as specified. The db-wg therefore ask the RIPE NCC to prepare an impact analysis, followed by an implementation plan and timeline for this request and the other issues raised in the problem solution of NWI-5 as follows: 1) Remove the "origin:" authorization requirement. 2) Flag "route:" objects for non-RIPE-managed space with "source: RIPE-NONAUTH" to identify non-authoritative data. Thank you all for your work on this proposal! Kind regards, William & Denis DB-WG co-chairs
