RIPE NCC distribution robot

Dear colleagues, On last RIPE-Meeting in Stockholm i heard about a new mail distribution robot at the RIPE NCC. It can indicate what type of mail is sent to the RIPE hostmasters and check wether it is a RIPE-141-Template or an ordinary EMail. I assume this robot is written in PERL. Now i'd like to know if it is possible to provide the source of this robot for download for all other LIR's? Maybe it could be usefull for us/them. -- Ludger Bornhorst, Deutsche Telekom AG, ZDK Zentrum fuer Datenkommunikation, Oldenburg, Germany Tel.: +49 441/234-5678 Fax : +49 441/27463

The message below should be interesting for this group. Especially the http://www.idnames.com/ which is referred to by the page mentioned below.

I'd not heard anything about it until today. I tried to move a domain (a .org domain) for a customer today, and got the following reply from domreg(a)internic.net: Thank you for contacting Network Solutions, Inc., InterNIC Registration Services. The domain name you are attempting to update was registered through WorldNIC Services and should be updated via the following URL: http://www.worldnic.com This looks like Network Solutions taking advantage of its position as controller of the big three commercially used TLDs to find new ways to dip their fingers into another part of the pie...perhaps in anticipation of losing their monopoly on domain registrations. What does my ISP need to do to get setup with Network Solutions such that anytime someone wants to modify a domain registered through us, the request is bounced litterally saying "you can't do that, go talk to FDT about it."? - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis(a)fdt.net> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____ ------- End of Forwarded Message

allocation policy change
by Mirjam Kuehne 05 Jun '98

05 Jun '98

[Appologies for any duplicates.] Dear Local Internet Registries, As discussed at the last LIR-WG in Stockholm, the RIPE NCC is considering to change the policy for allocation requests as currently described in ripe-159: 4.3. Further Allocations A Local IR can obtain additional allocations as required. A request should be submitted to the RIPE NCC when the currently allocated address space is nearly used up (about 90 percent), or if a single assignment will require a larger set of addresses than can be satisfied with the allocated address space. A usage of 90% was felt very high by the LIR-WG. This has been discussed with the other regional registries (ARIN & APNIC). ARIN requires currently that 80% of previously allocated address space has been used, APNIC requires 75% (for historical reasons). We all agreed that this should be align throughout the regional registries. Therefor the RIPE NCC suggests to lower the usage to 80%. In order to make this change effective, the policy document (ripe-159) has to be changed. We are planning to do this as soon as possible, but certainly before the next RIPE Meeting in September. Until then the old policy will be in place. Please watch the mailing list for the announcement. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Mike Norris: Hello. Your point is well taken and we do understand that. We do expect the regional address registries (RIPE NCC, APNIC, and ARIN) to play a key role in the formation of policies and procedures of the IANA and in selecting the IANA board members. We expect the regional registries will involve their members (such as the Local IRs) in these matters as appropriate. --jon.

Daniel whatever about name registries, address registries are pretty well structured, and recognised as such, both locally and regionally. Local IRs are involved in the governance of their regional IRs and, thanks to you and your peers, there is close cooperation between the regionals and a high degree of alignment between their respective policies and procedures. There shouldn't be any great difficulty in the interim board acknowledging this and including representation from the regional address registries in the interim board. The regionals are all properly incorporated, albeir outside the USA. I'm sure you've said something like this already. Regards.

Internet Governance and IANA

------- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 08:35:19 -0700 From: postel(a)ISI.EDU To: Daniel.Karrenberg(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: governance An update from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). IANA is continuing to provide the neutral, central coordinating functions for the global Internet. As we await the United States government's final statement on the "Improvement of Technical Management of Internet Names and Addresses" (also known as the "Green Paper"), we are in the process of reorganizing and restructuring the IANA organization. This process will create an independent, not-for-profit corporation. The new IANA will establish separate offices from the University of Southern California and its Information Sciences Institute, where IANA is now located. We are selecting legal representation and preparing initial bylaws and articles of incorporation. The bylaws are being constructed to allow for international representation on the board of directors by address registries, domain name registries and registrars, protocol organizations, and the user/industry community. Since the deadline for having this organized may not permit a fully representative board to be in place initially, we expect to create a transitional board who will then conduct a process to establish the first fully functioning board with world-wide representation of all constituencies. In the spirit of community self-governance, we welcome your advice and suggestions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------- End of Forwarded Message

Re: RIPE-141 interface
by Mirjam Kuehne 22 May '98

Dear Dana Hudes, Thank you for your input. This has been discussed in the LIR-WG before. We are working on a better user interface for the hostmaster mailbox. As a first step we have implemented an automatic syntax check and an automatic distribution mail tool. On top of this we will implement a web interface for the ripe-141 tool. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne "Mr. Dana Hudes" <dhudes(a)graphnet.com> writes: * It seems to me that we could benefit from a web interface * to submission of RIPE-141.

IPv8 Fees
by Jim Fleming 18 May '98

18 May '98

Hank, Sorry to take so long getting back to you. I hope that you understand that your questions about IPv8 fees were not high on the priority list for a reply, partly because of your confusing terminology about "anti-matter IP addresses". Be that as it may, I think that you should now be able to see that IPv8 fees (if any) will be set by the various TLD authorities with the resources. ARIN's fees are separate but now people are getting a better picture of that situation. I hope this answers your question.
