Dear colleagues, The draft documents for version 4.0 of the policy proposal 2015-04, "RIPE Resource Transfer Policies" have now been published, along with an impact analysis conducted by the RIPE NCC.

Proceeding with proposal 2016-04 (IPv6 PI Sub-assignment clarification)
by Sander Steffann 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hello working group, The end of the discussion phase of proposal 2016-04 (IPv6 PI Sub-assignment clarification) has been reached. At this point in the PDP the proposer, in agreement with the working group chairs, decides whether to move forward. The chairs have determined that we have general consensus that the use-cases described in the proposal are valid ways to use PI space and the policy should reflect that. However there has been discussion on the exact way to fix the policy. The proposer has told us that he wants to continue with the current proposal and continue to the review phase. We decided to agree with this and go to review phase. The RIPE NCC will make an impact analysis and based on that we can continue the discussion on the list, review the proposal and where necessary adjust the exact wording of the proposal. Cheers, Sander & Gert Your working group chairs

I am pleased to see the arrival of this policy proposal as whilst the additional assessment criteria introduced by proposal 2015-03 allowed the legitimate requirements of a broader range of organisations to be satisfied it was of benefit only to those that had not previously received address space (and/or those in a position to return/exchange it). These same requirements do however exist equally for many other organisations who should not be discriminated against simply because they happened to have received their initial allocation under the previous assessment criteria. The proposed policy serves to remove this discrimination and provide the same benefits to all, notwithstanding the unavoidable practical difficulty of providing contiguous address space to organisations who may find themselves 'landlocked' by allocations already made to other organisations. In light of the above I fully support the adoption and implementation of the proposed policy. Regards, Mathew

Dear colleagues, At RIPE 73 there was support for a review of the RIPE community's accountability, by looking at its current procedures, documentation and structures. An Accountability Task Force has been established to carry out this work and will have its first meeting in the coming weeks, after which a charter and additional information will be published. A mailing list will also be created for the Task Force’s discussions and the archives will be publicly available.

Migration Datacenter
by ANGEL MARTINEZ SANCHEZ 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hello, We are going to migrate from our actually datacenter to another one. We have /22 IPs block and not have AS number, our datacenter announce them. Our plan is as follows: - We already add new route objects before migration and will remove old after migration. - At dawn on Sunday, November 27 about 3:00 AM, we will shut down all our servers from the current data center. - At that point we will delete the current route ASXXXX in RIPE DB from inetnum XXX.XXX.XX.0/22 and only the route object corresponding to new datacenter will remain. - We will contact new datacenter to activate our IP block on their router and configure the requested gateway. - We will dismantle the entire rack from old datacenter and move it to the new datacenter where we will start up all our servers again. We need to know if the procedure is correct and very important, the time it takes to propagate the new route of our IP block since we delete the current ASXXXXX and the new ASXXXX is activated by new datacenter. We also need to know if we depend on any action by the current data center to complete this procedure. For example, if they have to remove our block from their AS or their router and that would happen in case they refused to do so on the date indicated for the migration. Thanks and regards.

2015-04 New Version and Impact Analysis Published (RIPE Resource Transfer Policies)
by Marius Cristea 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Dear colleagues, Over the last years RIPE NCC has imposed a "rule" that when the last IPs are transferred the transferring LIR has to pay the full annual membership fee (even if the LIR was not a member of RIPE for that entire year). I think that if this is something everybody agrees with, it should be inserted into the policy text to make this very clear. But if not, then maybe it would be useful to add a text which would simply say that RIPE NCC should relate exclusively on this policy when processing transfer requests and is not mandated by the RIPE community in imposing any kind of abusive taxes. I also have a problem with the 24 months period of keeping the IPv4 addresses after merging 2 companies. It's exactly our case, we want to buy and merge with a telecom company and we will no longer need all their IPv4 addresses since we have more than enough by merging both companies resources. We want to transfer a part of the IP addresses to other Company that really need them. Why to wait 24 months? Best Regards, Marius Cristea
