Fw: [address-policy-wg] 2005-08 New Draft Documentis Published (Proposal to Amend the IPv6 Assignment and Utilisation Requirement Policy)

Hi, Both of these proposals change the onus on an LIR from having "... a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other organisations within two years." to having "... a plan for making at least 200 assignments to other organisations within two years." While this increases flexibility it still has an arbritrary feel to it. Why 200 assignments? I can see that this is meant to prevent the numberspace becoming too fractured, so reducing the size of the routing table. However, I worry that it may have the side effect of imposing a hierarchy of ISPs within IPv6 that does not meet the requirements of smaller organisations. It seems there is little interest at present within the larger UK-based ISPs in providing IPv6, (with the exception of NTT-Verio), and this change won't affect that. Is there a better way to encourage the uptake of IPv6 without preventing exponential routing table growth?

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, This is a call for nominations from the RIPE NCC service region to fill one vacant seat on the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Number Council (NC). The term of Sabine Jaume, who was elected in January 2004, expires in December 2006. Due to an administrative error, this call for nominations is issued after the prescribed 90-day pre-election period as suggested in the NRO NC election process. We are confident that we will secure qualified candidates within the remaining time. The representative appointed by the Internet community for the NRO NC seat will serve a three-year term, beginning 1 January 2007. ========================================================================== Deadline for nominations: 4 September, 2006 Elections: 4 October, 2006, at the RIPE 53 Meeting, Amsterdam, the Netherlands =========================================================================== For more information about the NRO NC, nominations and the election process, see: http://www.ripe.net/info/resource-admin/nro2006/ Regards, Paul Rendek Head of Member Services & Communications RIPE NCC

91.192/10 to be used for PI assignments to End Users
by leo vegoda 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Dear Colleagues, At recent RIPE Meetings, we have reported a steady rise in requests from our members for Provider Independent (PI) address space for End User networks. We have reclaimed and recycled space from closed Local Internet Registries to meet this demand, but we are nearing the point where the available PI space will run out. In the past, we made PI assignments from former Class C space (193/8 and 194/7). Because of the increasing demand for PI space, we made sure that we would be able to use some of our most recent allocation of address space to meet future requests. We have designated 91.192/10 for PI assignments to End User networks. When the former Class C space is exhausted, we will start to make PI assignments from 91.192/10. We will let you know when this happens. We are announcing a pilot prefix using the RIS beacons, you may want to update any filters that you have in place. The RIS beacons are announcing the following networks: 91.192.0.0/24 91.192.0.0/16 You can ping 91.192.0.1. Full details of reachable IP addresses and tools are available on our web site at: http://www.ris.ripe.net/debogon/debogon.html Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC
