WG chair re-selection procedure
by Sander Steffann 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hello working group, The collective of RIPE working group chairpersons has decided that each RIPE working group should have some rules regarding the re-selection of the chairs. Gert and I have come up with the following: The RIPE Address Policy Working Group should attempt to maintain two Chairpersons whenever possible. Once per year one of the chairs will offer to stand down to allow new candidates to become chair. This will be announced by sending an email to the working group mailing list at least two weeks before the start of a RIPE meeting. Anybody is allowed to volunteers for the chair position, including the chair who offered to stand down. At the next RIPE meeting those present at the working group session will determine by consensus who will take the available chair position. If no consensus can be reached in the working group session then the current chairs will stay to ensure the continued stability of the working group. Those who volunteer to chair the RIPE Address Policy Working Group should be aware of the responsibilities and work this involves. A generic description of the responsibilities of a RIPE working group chair can be found in RIPE-542 (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-542). Address policy working group chairs are also expected to coordinate with the RIPE NCC Registration Services department on issues and/or questions arising in the either the working group or the RIPE NCC regarding address policy. As working group chairs are usually determined by consensus during the working group session at a RIPE meeting we will also determine consensus on this procedure there. Therefore please provide your feedback before or at the next RIPE meeting: RIPE 69 in London. Sincerely, Gert & Sander

RIPE documents do not make a reference to RFC 2119 in general and even less so in this particular case. There's already enough confusion in the IETF with "must" vs "MUST", i.e., when keywords do and don't bear their special meaning. 2) the change is unnecessary and does not provide clarification. The text is already clearly stating that assigned address space stays with the service and will (have to) be returned to the RIPE NCC if the service is terminated. A "should" is sufficient. 3) The status of ripe-233, especially in the light of the omnibus document ripe-623 is probably a bit vague. ripe-233 exists for historic reference, therefore any change applied by this proposal would retroactively try to change the rule for past assignments with no new assignments to be expected (for lack of policy). 4) Issuing a new document with a new timestamp is likely to cause more confusion than it strives to solve (lacking sth equivalent to a "Historic" document status and/or explanatory introductory text in the updated document). Resolved, no support -Peter

Five Policy Proposals to Improve RIPE Documents
by Marco Schmidt 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Dear colleagues, Later today, we will publish five policy proposals on the Address Policy Working Group Mailing List. We wanted to let you know in advance what these are about. In the Address Policy WG sessions at RIPE 67 and RIPE 68, it was discussed that the language in several RIPE Documents should be improved by changing instances of “should” to “must” where this was creating unwanted ambiguity. You can find more information here: https://ripe68.ripe.net/presentations/288-APWG-co-presentation-should.pdf After receiving guidance from the RIPE community, RIPE NCC has decided to start the process to clarify the language in these RIPE Documents by submitting these proposals into the PDP. For clarity, and as instructed by the community, there will be one proposal per RIPE Document. If you wish to provide your feedback to a specific proposed change, please make sure that you reply to the appropriate announcement and thread. Kind regards Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
