[Apologies for duplicate mails.]
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce added functionality to the LIR Portal,
the web interface that provides LIRs with increased access to the
RIPE NCC.
As part of an ongoing commitment to security and reliability we
have deployed our own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) within the
LIR Portal. Members can generate an X.509 certificate and then
use it to access the LIR Portal in a secure and seamless manner.
More information on PKI can be found in the draft document
"Improved Secure Communication System for RIPE NCC Members"
found at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/pki-20030429.html
The LIR Portal also includes an Allocation Editor. The Allocation
Editor allows an LIR to update specific fields, including contact
information, within an allocation inetnum object without having to
contact a RIPE NCC Hostmaster. This feature will allow LIRs to make
these changes much faster than in the past.
Finally, you will find a new section on the LIR Portal entitled "Tools"
that presents a collection of useful member tools and utilities. This
section includes:
Online Meeting Registration
Whois Queries
Online Bill Payment
Ticket Information and Status
IPCount
Password Encryption
RIS Queries
Online Training Registration
More features will be added to the LIR Portal to enhance ease of use,
manipulation of data and easy access to the RIPE NCC's services.
We welcome your feedback. Comments on these and other features of the
LIR Portal should be sent to <lirportalfeedback(a)ripe.net>.
Kind regards,
Axel Pawlik

Dear Colleagues,
At RIPE 44, earlier this year, the LIR WG formed a Task Force to
investigate possible changes to the current policy for assigning
Provider Independent (PI) IPv4 address space.
<http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/lir-wg/2003/msg00108.html>
The Task Force's discussion is summarised below.
The discussion started with a provocative statement that the concept of
PI address space is broken. It was also noted that the current policy
requires assignment of space that may not be globally routeable as the
prefix length will be filtered. This space may be suitable for networks
that do not need to be globally routed but can be inconvenient for
others.
There was support for the continued availability of PI address space to
End Users - and a recognition that IXPs and root DNS servers do require
PI address space. Nonetheless, there were worries that liberalising the
policy by having a minimum prefix length for PI assignments could result
in an increase in the number of requests for PI address space and a
consequent increase in the size of the IPv4 DFZ. One particular
concern was that those not qualifying for a /24 of PA may would
request a /24 of PI, instead.
Finally, it was noted that if the policy for assigning PI address space
is changed the usage hurdle for new LIRs to receive a first allocation
should be reviewed, too.
No consensus for a recommendation to change the existing policy was
reached.
Regards,
