Thanks, John, >My, I hope reasonably correct and not too long winded comments: I think this was a very well-structured summary. Just one additional clarification: >The NCC has members who pay membership fees and gain neutral services for >those fees. The services are defined/agreed by membership via activity >plans etc. Typically those members (the LIRs) are organisations (ISPs, companies, associations,...) and, depending on their size and thus financial contribution, can control a certain number of votes in the NCC's AGM (the Association's General Assembly). >Many NCC members, called "Local Internet Registries" are also participants in RIPE. >You "participate" in RIPE rather than being a "member" as it doesn't have a formal >organisational structure. However, even if a person happens to be affiliated with an LIR, the person participates in RIPE as an individual! In the sense of one person, one point of view to be considered for consensus development. Right? Wilfried.

APNIC New IPv6 address block
by John Tran 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Dear colleagues APNIC received the IPv6 address range 2001:0E00::/23 from IANA in January 2003 and will be making allocations from this range in the near future. Please configure your routing filters accordingly. For more information on the resources administered by APNIC, see: http://www.apnic.net/db/ranges.html For information on the minimum allocation sizes within address ranges administered by APNIC, see: http://www.apnic.net/db/ranges.html For information on the minimum allocation sizes within address ranges administered by APNIC, see: http://www.apnic.net/db/min-alloc.html Kind regards Son ____________________________________________________________________ Resources Services Manager <Son(a)apnic.net> Asia Pacific Network Information Centre phone: +61 7 3858 3100 http://www.apnic.net fax: +61 7 3858 3199 Helpdesk phone: +61 7 3858 3188 email: helpdesk(a)apnic.net Please send Internet Resource Requests to <hostmaster(a)apnic.net> _____________________________________________________________________ * APNIC-ANNOUNCE: Announcements concerning APNIC * * To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe" to apnic-announce-request(a)apnic.net * * APNIC-TALK: General APNIC Discussion List * * To unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe" to apnic-talk-request(a)apnic.net *

Name of the LIR WG
by Denesh Bhabuta 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Hi I am sure we all agree that this Working Group is an "open forum where RIPE policy is made". However this is not immediately obvious from the name Local Internet Registry Working Group (LIR WG). There seem to be a couple of apparent problems... 1) The Purpose of the working group is not clear - mainly to newcomers, but also to others. 2) non-LIRs most likely have the impression that the Working Group is not open to them even though it is open to anyone with rational argument. Thus a proposal is to change the name of this working group to "Policy WG" or similar.. if only to remove any implications of the WG being a closed shop. This would also make it clear as to what the WG deals with. So - any comments? Please start a discussion on this in time for the upcoming meeting in Amsterdam where we hope there will be a consensus on this matter. Regards Denesh

[aso-council] ICANN Quarterly Report to U.S. Department of Commerce (fwd)

------------ Forwarded Message ------------ Date: 9. januar 2003 18:26 -0800 From: "M. Stuart Lynn" <lynn(a)icann.org> To: ASO Council <aso-council(a)aso.icann.org> Cc: vint cerf <vcerf(a)MCI.NET> Subject: [aso-council] ICANN Quarterly Report to U.S. Department of Commerce The amendment signed last September to the Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Department of Commerce requires ICANN to submit a quarterly progress report detailing our accomplishments towards fulfilling the requirements of that amendment. The report covering the period from the signing of the amendment through December 31, 2002 has been submitted and can be found at http://www.icann.org/general/status-report-08jan03.htm. The report highlights not just all that has been done towards achieving the reform of ICANN, but also the significant progress that has been made in many other important areas. I would like to thank each of you for all of your support and dedicated efforts towards both the reform efforts and some of these other areas of accomplishment. Without your voluntary commitment of your precious time, none of this would have been possible. With best wishes for 2003 and for continuing collaborations!

Hi Daniel, Gert et.al.! IF we really consider changing things, after a _very_ careful review (I hope), I'd have a strong pref to do it in coordination with the other RIRs' constituencies. >Hi, > >On Wed, Jan 08, 2003 at 05:40:56PM +0100, Daniel Karrenberg wrote: >> "Registration Policies and Procedures WG" repop-wg ? > >I'm not sure whether people will understand "repop-wg" better than >"lir-wg" :-) > >What about "policy-wg"? "policy" -- policy? what (Internet Content ;-) ?? The best thing I can think of at the moment is sort of copying from the APNIC region, ie. [IP] Address Policy SIG. Which (from an ICANN/ASO point of view) still misses the routing identifier issue, somewhat, and/or potentially starts to pull the Routing-WG into the boat as well. And we should be very careful to not _add_ to the confusion in this process, with - policy being the "open-ness" thingy where everyone is welcome and a consensus and/or resource accessibility and distribution decision should be worked out, and - defining the procedures, which should ultimately remain the responsibilty of the NCC and the LIRs in th end, although everyone should still be welcome to observe and contribute as much as possible. We should think pretty careful about - "policy development" for IPv[46] Addresses and Routing Identifiers, - "LIR <-> RIR procedure definitions" and, in the end, - "funding agreement". >Gert Doering > -- NetMaster Food for thought, Wilfried.

I tend to favour the official title of "IP Addressing Policy" WG, which can then be abbreviated to the informal "Policy" WG if necessary Paul -----Original Message----- From: Peter Galbavy [mailto:peter.galbavy@knowtion.net] Sent: 08 January 2003 16:50 To: Gert Doering; Axel Pawlik; Denesh Bhabuta; lir-wg(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: [lir-wg] Name of the LIR WG > I'm not sure whether people will understand "repop-wg" better than > "lir-wg" :-) > > What about "policy-wg"? There appears to be a focus of 'RIPE is the members' so why not 'ripe-wg' ? Peter

Recent Board Meeting
by Axel Pawlik 07 Jan '03

07 Jan '03

Dear all, I want to take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy and Successful New Year! ... and to quickly inform you that the Executive Board of the RIPE NCC met on 16 December 2002. During the meeting a number of issues that were brought up on this mailing list some weeks ago were discussed. A major focal point was on easing members' participation in the annual General Meeting of the association. Various possibilities ranging from electronic voting to moving the date of the meeting were considered. Another topic was the presentation of budget lines in documents like the Annual Report and Activity Plan, as well as possible improvements to the current Charging Scheme. No final decisions have been taken yet, as a substantial amount of further discussions and preparations are expected. I will present more details, and give an outlook onto the RIPE NCC actions in the coming year, during the plenary at the upcoming RIPE Meeting. kind regards, hope to see you in Amsterdam, Axel
