by Angela Dall'Ara 02 Sep '24

02 Sep '24

Dear colleagues, A new RIPE Policy Proposal, 2024-01, "Revised IPv6 PI Assignment Policy" is now available for discussion. This proposal aims to define End Sites and requirements for “IPv6 PI Assignments” and “Assignments from IPv6 Allocations”, clarifies permitted use cases and introduces IPv6 PI issuance at the Nibble boundary and new principles for aggregation and registration. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/community/policies/proposals/2024-01 As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of the Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and provide feedback to the proposer. Taking in consideration the holiday period, the Address Policy WG Chairs decided to allow five weeks for this initial phase. At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the agreement of the WG Chairs, will decide how to proceed with the proposal. The PDP document can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-781 We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to address-policy-wg(a)ripe.net before 18 September 2024. Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC

Fwd: [ripe-list] Mailing Lists Migration from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 Begins
by Leo Vegoda 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

Dear Address Policy WG, In case you haven't seen it, the RIPE NCC will be making changes to our mailing list configuration. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda, for the Address Policy co-chairs ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Timour Bakeev <tbakeev(a)ripe.net> Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2024 at 03:44 Subject: [ripe-list] Mailing Lists Migration from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 Begins To: <ripe-list(a)ripe.net> Dear colleagues, In response to the community concerns regarding using the outdated Mailman 2 software for the RIPE mailing lists, RIPE NCC is starting the migration process to the Mailman 3 software suite. This upgrade will enhance the user interface and message archives for these lists. We expect to complete this work by 14 July 2024. Previously, we successfully updated our internal mailing lists to Mailman 3 and the ASO and NRO mailing lists, containerising them in the process. This latest migration extends those improvements to these external mailing lists as well. What will change? Mailman 2 and Mailman 3 are entirely different products, which brings some changes in the observed behaviour. The location of the email archives. The new address of the archive will be: https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/{list-name}@ripe.net/ The subscription address will be changed to {list-name}-join(a)ripe.net To maintain historical links to the archives, we’re planning to turn this into a static website at: https://lists.ripe.net/ The mail delivery process for the existing subscribers will not change, so they will continue to receive emails from the lists as usual, with a potential one-time delay of up to four hours during the actual transition. The interaction with the server is also going to remain the same. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Kind regards, Timour Bakeev Senior System Engineer RIPE NCC -- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options, please visit: https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ripe-list

RIPE Policy document updated “IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region” (ripe-826)
by Angela Dall'Ara 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE policy “IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region” has been updated to align with the implementation of NWI4, done in Whois release 1.112, which added the option to change the status of an IPv4 allocation object in the RIPE Database from “ALLOCATED PA” to “ALLOCATED-ASSIGNED PA” when the whole address space is assigned to the LIR infrastructure or for use by an End User with services provided by the issuing LIR. The new document is called ripe-826 and is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-826/ Please note that also the following has been updated: 1) In the Abstract: The link to the webpage where to find information on the Address Policy WG from https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/ap to https://www.ripe.net/community/wg/active-wg/ap/ 2) In 1.1 Scope: The link to the webpage listing the RIPE community’s policies: from https://www.ripe.net/ripe-policies to https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-policies/ 3) In 5.3 Sub-Allocations The option to ask for a conversion of PI to PA via LIR Portal has been added. Kind regards, Angela Dall'Ara Policy Officer RIPE NCC

Updated Approach to IPv6 Transfer Requests
by Marco Schmidt 19 Jun '24

19 Jun '24

Dear colleagues, During the Address Policy WG session at RIPE 88, I presented on the topic of IPv6 stockpiling by several members [1]. There was widespread support from the working group that our application of IPv6 needs to evolve, emphasising the importance of enforcing policy requirements for transfers of IPv6 allocations. In light of this, the RIPE NCC will now prioritise enforcing policy requirements when evaluating IPv6 allocation transfer requests. Since transferred resources are no different than allocations made by the RIPE NCC, if the receiving party of a transfer request already holds an IPv6 allocation, they must document the need for another allocation according to the policy requirements for subsequent allocations [2][3]. This means the receiving party must demonstrate how they have utilised their existing allocation or justify the need for a new one. In the case of an IPv6 allocation transfer, a successfully deployed network on that range would be considered a valid new need. This updated approach will be applied to any new transfer request submitted from today. Please note, this updated approach only applies to transfer requests under RIPE policies. If the change of holdership of an IPv6 allocation is due to a company merger or acquisition, the RIPE NCC will process this change in accordance with relevant RIPE NCC procedures. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Manager Registration Services RIPE NCC [1] https://ripe88.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/73-RIPE88-Feeback-… [2] https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-807/#2-1-transfer-requirements [3] https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-738/#52-subsequent-allocation
