RE: address-policy-wg digest, Vol 1 #1183 - 6 msgs

I would advise everyone to be very careful about allowing an organization to arbitrarily define something as "implementation" or "management practice" rather than "policy," especially when such a unilateral redefinition allows important processes and public input to be bypassed. --MM > -----Original Message----- > > Geoff Huston's report states that: "At the time IANA reaches the last > > 5 /8s (the "IANA Exhaustion time" as defined by current address > > allocation policies), these unassigned addresses in the legacy /8s are > > then distributed evenly to the RIRs."

IETF Internet-Draft "IANA Reserved IPv4 Prefix for IPv6 Transition"
by Emilio Madaio 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Dear Colleagues, At the IETF 78 Meeting in Maastricht in July 2010, the Operations and Management Area Working Group (OPSAWG) presented "IANA Reserved IPv4 Prefix for IPv6 Transition". This presentation introduced the Internet draft document that specifies the use of a reserved IANA /8 address block from its remaining pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses. The reserved address space would be used as "Shared Transition Space", intended as: "[...] IPv4 address space reserved for Service Provider or large enterprise use with the purpose of facilitating IPv6 transition and IPv4 coexistence deployment. This space SHOULD only be used for the purpose of providing NAT'ed IPv4 access to subscriber networks or IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnels during the transition to full IPv6 deployment. These addresses MAY be used without any coordination with IANA or any other Internet registry. " The Internet draft document is available at: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-weil-opsawg-provider-address-space/ Discussion on this draft document is ongoing at: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/opsawg/current/maillist.html Kind Regards, Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC

New Draft Document: Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies
by Filiz Yilmaz 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Dear Colleagues, At the RIPE 59 Meeting in Lisbon in October 2009, the RIPE NCC announced that it would undertake a project to improve the language of various RIPE Policy Documents, without changing their substance or meaning. This project is aimed at improving the clarity and readability of RIPE Documents. For more information, see: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/updated-documents A draft of the first RIPE Document to be revised, ripe-463, "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies and Procedures", was then published. The status of the project was presented at the RIPE 60 Meeting in Prague in May 2010, and new discussions and decisions ensued. The development of the project led to a second version of the draft. We have published this draft document in two layouts. The first layout contains only the proposed text, in full, and is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/updated-documents/ASN-inc-v2.html The second layout contains both the current text and the proposed text side by side, and it’s available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/updated-documents/ASN-comp-v2.html At the top of both draft documents, there is a summary of the proposed changes. There are three changes we would like to highlight because they differ from the previous version of the draft. Abstract The abstract was edited to be more precise and comprehensive. Paragraph 5.0: Validity of an Assignment This paragraph was removed as per feedback from the RIPE community. Paragraph 8.0: Attribution This paragraph was added to note the participation of the people who made AS Number-related proposals through the RIPE Policy Development Process and who therefore contributed to the wording of the AS Number policy documents over time. During RIPE 60, the RIPE community agreed to use this method of attribution for all future RIPE Policy Documents. Other smaller changes are listed at the top of document. Please review the text and send any feedback you might have to the Address Policy Working Group mailing list. The period for review is two weeks and lasts until 29 July 2010. After the review period, the Address Policy Working Group Chairs will conclude whether or not there is consensus on the draft document. Kind regards, Filiz Yilmaz Policy Development Manager RIPE NCC
