Re: [lir-wg] What "Region" is RIPE ?
by Keith Talent 27 Nov '02

This answer from Fleming demonstrates exactly why he should be banned from this list. Until he can be bothered to find out the basics of RIPE operations, he doesn't deserve to be allowed to post. He treats the rest of us with contempt. Why should we allow him the right to stay on our lists?

New IPv4 blcok allocated to RIPE NCC
by leo vegoda 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv4 address range 82.0.0.0/8 from the IANA in November 2002. We will begin allocating from this range in the near future. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found on our web site at: <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html> Kind regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services

Re: [lir-wg] RIPE Payments to ICANN

I have no complaints here. 2) Where can I find a proposed 2002 budget, which compares itself against 2001? In the same vein, where can I find a proposed 2003 budget? I was not able to find anything like this within the RIPE document store. 3) In the annual report expenses are broken down into 4 categories: personnel, operational, RIPE meetings and LIR training and depreciation. On the other hand, the annual report breaks NCC activities down into the following main categories: registration, training, database services, test traffic (ttm), routing information (RIS), security (DISI), infrastructure, RIPE. Can RIPE NCC provide a budget whereby expenses are broken down by activity as well? Until I have answers to 2 &3 above, there is NO way I can say RIPE NCC is doing a good or bad job in managing its money and everyone else who focuses on one financial tidbit or another is just guessing as well. Without going into specifics, RIPE NCC has to realize that almost every ISP has downsized to the tune of 10-25% (if not more). Every ISP has cut back its CAPEX. Non-profits have a harder time in down-sizing and cutting back on non-essential activities since they are not profit driven. I would hope that the 2002 budget will show a reduction from the 2001 expenses of 7.8MEuro. This one facet alone will show that RIPE NCC is tracking the general ISP industry. -Hank >If my assumptions are correct, the point being made here is that the RIPE >NCC is being questioned over the use of funds, generated from the LIRs, to >support other organisations.

can we sack Flemming ??
by John M. Brown 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

He is not adding any value to this list and is distracting it away from its more useful flames and comments about various RIPE functions. Flemming has been sacked from the ARIN, NANOG, IETF lists and had his account canceled by at least one provider in the last several months after violating various AUP's.

Too much spam and gibberish is severely damaging the usefulness of this list. I know that individuals can filter the loons out of their own email, but that doesn't help the web archive. We should do something to clean this up. This list should be a forum for open discussion, but not wilfull disinformation. Fleming has has own mad barrow to push but it has nothing to do with this list. And as for Jeff Williams, every email he sends contains lies (especially any statements about his identity). Neither of them has any interest in the Internet community in this region and neither of them has ever shown any attempt to make a positive contribution. Let's reclaim the list from the maddies. --- ********************************* Keith Talent Snr Sys Admin MSCE DART Problem?
