by Andrea Cima 17 May '04

17 May '04

Dear Colleagues, On Friday 14 May 2004, Hans Petter Holen, Address Policy Working Group Chair, confirmed the consensus on the proposal to change the minimum IPv4 allocation size to /22 in the African countries in the RIPE NCC service region. http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/address-policy-wg/2004/msg00212.html A larger allocation block will be made when justified by the Local Internet Registry. No comments were made and consensus was reached. The RIPE NCC will implement this policy on 17 May 2004. The supporting documentation will be updated as soon as possible. Please note that /22 allocations will only come from the 196.200.0.0/13 block. Best regards, Andrea Cima Snr. Hostmaster RIPE NCC -

Call for volunteers for Policy Development Process
by Hans Petter Holen 11 May '04

11 May '04

Dear Address Policy Working Group, At recent RIPE meetings we have discussed how to better document the RIPE policy development process. This will not only improve openness and transparency, but may also encourage participation from a wide audience, including those that are not able to attend RIPE meetings. At the Address Policy working group meeting last week, I called for volunteers to help writing the documentation for this process. I further proposed a timeline for the task to result in drafts to be delveopled before the next wg meeting. A mailing list has been set up, to discuss the process. It is open to everyone. You can subscribe at the URL below. http://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ripe-pdp The list is publicly archived at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/ripe-pdp/ We'd like to start the discussion from 17 May[1], to continue over the summer. Our goal is to have completed work by mid November. The proposed timeline and more information can be found in last week's presentation to the Address Policy WG, available from: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-48/presentations/ripe48-ap- policy-dev.pdf Webcasts of last week' Address Policy WG sessions can be found on the web site at: mms://webcast.ripe.net/ripe-48/ap-1.wmv mms://webcast.ripe.net/ripe-48/ap-2.wmv Looking forward to your participation, Hans Petter [1]Norway's Independence Day

A new draft requesting expansion of RFC 1918 space by adding 3 /8s to space reserved for private use. Given the presented justification (see introduction): "Given the policies for acquiring additional public space it is not reasonable for them to acquire such space for use in their private networks. " I am left a bit confused about the statement and would like to have the wg request the RIPE NCC to ask the author for further clarification Regards, Joao Damas
