new documents: IP Address Request Form and Supporting Notes
by RIPE NCC Hostmaster 01 Aug '95

01 Aug '95

Dear Local Registries, As you probably noticed is ripe-124 ("European IP Address Space Request Form and Supporting Notes") expired quite some time ago. Unfortunately we had no time to revisit the document as extensive as we would like to do. But there are some changes to note: One of the main changes is that we have split ripe-124 in two separate documents: - ripe-128.{txt, ps} "Supporting Notes for European IP Address Space Requests" - ripe-129.txt "European IP Address Space Request Form" Please note that there is no ps version for the form itself anymore. We receive too many requests by Fax, where e-mail would be possible (and preferred). If you have any problems with this, please let us know. Please note also other changes in the new documents. Some are listed below: - nic-hdl's for admin- and tech-c's are now mandatory. Please refer to ripe-126 for more information. - network details are now required for every request not only for requests for more than two C's There are still a lot of changes necessary, therefor the new version will expire again at 31st October 1995. If you have comments or suggestions for the new document, please contact us as soon as possible. All input is welcom. You will receive the official notification for the two documents in separate mails. Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC hostmaster team

Announcement for Local IR Training Course
by RIPE NCC Training 31 Jul '95

31 Jul '95

* * * Announcement * * * Local Internet Registries Training Course Date: Monday, 16th October, 1995 Time: 0900 - 1700 Venue: RIPE NCC Kruislaan 409 1098 SJ Amsterdam The Netherlands Course Audience --------------- The target audience for this course is personnel of European Local Internet Registries or ISPs planning to set up a local IR. Material Covered ---------------- The course is a one day introduction on Internet name, address and routing policy registration procedures in Europe. It also teaches students how to query and use the information registered for operational purposes. This includes the following material and activities: o Overview of name, address and routing registration procedures. o Responsibilities of both RIPE NCC and Local IR's to each other. o Wider context of the Delegated Registry system and relevant issues (IPv4 address depletion, CIDR) and how this relates to IP requests. o How to use the RIPE NCC Database. o Use of AS numbers, Routing Registry concepts and an introduction to using PRIDE tools. o DNS feedback on commor errors, how to request delegations, and pointers to useful tools. We again stress that this course will *not* teach Local Registries on how to run their business as Internet Service Providers. It is clearly focussed on registration procedures and the interaction between the RIPE NCC and local IR's. A detailed outline is appended below. The course itself will include lunch and will be free. This of course does not include your travel and subsitence ;-). How to Register --------------- Please send an RSVP to <training(a)ripe.net> if you would like to attend the course. If you have previously approached us about attending this course, we ask you to confirm that you (or a colleague) will be attending. Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. If the course is oversubscribed, we will give priority to local IRs who have paid the signup fee in 1995. If it is still oversubscribed, we will accept only one person per new local registry. We will provide additional course dates in Amsterdam as necessary. If a number of local registries so request, we will present courses at other European locations. If you would like a local course or have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us. The RIPE NCC Training Team: Mirjam Kuehne, Daniel Karrenberg --- Course Outline -------------- For this second course, we will provide a slidebook and a reader on the day of the course, as well as electronically. Once feedback is received, it is planned to make detailed documentation available in the form of a guide much like the PRIDE guide. The program will divide the actual content into the following sections: 1. Introduction For those unfamiliar with the Delegated Internet Registry system and the RIPE NCC, this section will give a historical overview of how we have arrived at today's model of operation and why training of local IR's is a much needed activity. 2. IP Registry procedures This section will clarify the procedures between the RIPE NCC and local IR's with respect to requests for IP address space. It will take a step by step approach on how to complete documentation, the kind of information that is required, what the "handholding" procedure is, how to deal with very large requests, and very small requests, and more generally what criteria the RIPE NCC and local IR's use for their customers in the context of CIDR and IPv4 address depletion. 3. RIPE NCC Database This section will explain what the RIPE NCC Database is and how it fits into the scheme of other registry databases. It will cover how to create and update RIPE NCC Database objects and will explain how to query the database. 4. Routing Registry procedures This section will examine AS numbers, when you need them and how to request them. This will be set within the context of how AS numbers are used as part of the RIPE Routing Registry. Understanding the basic principles behind the Internet Routing Registry and how registering your policy is an important element in the global schema. This section will also include a brief introduction to the PRIDE tools and how they can be useful to you. 5. DNS procedures Where to request forward and reverse domain delegation. Which documentation should be completed. How reverse domain delegation requests are processed at the RIPE NCC (with a useful tool). We will also take a look at common errors in setting up DNS with respect to relevant RFCs and RIPE recommendations. Feedback Please! Throughout the course there will be ample chance for feedback and discussion with an emphasis for you to tell us how we can improve ;-). %%%%%%%%%%% PLEASE NOTE %%%%%%%%%%% Our handling of ALL course registrations is fully automated.

Last Resort Registries
by Daniel Karrenberg 25 Jul '95

25 Jul '95

Last-Resort local IRs have been established to serve end-users who do not have access to another local IR either because they do not connect to the Internet yet or because Internet service providers were not yet providing registry services. Recently the introduction of route aggregation (CIDR) and the proliferation of local IRs operated by service providers greatly reduce the usefulness of Last-Restort local IRs. Even worse, the routing of non-aggregatable address space negatively impacts the Internet routing system. Such space either is or shortly will be less then useful for the end-user because they have to renumber when connecting. Also there is now private address space available for use of end-users who want address space that is guaranteed not to be used by another end-user on the Internet. Additionally the Last-Resort registries form an anomaly in the RIPE NCC charging system, because they do not contribute to NCC funding while using NCC resources. Consequently it has been proposed several times already to close down the Last-Resort registries. I think it is now time to finally take such a step with a timeframe of end Q3/95 or at the end of the year. Are there any serious problems with this step? Daniel
