by Andrei Robachevsky 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

Dear Colleagues, Due to some explosion/fire in a power sub-system a large part of Amsterdam lost power last night around 21:30 UTC, 7 November. This influenced the AMS-IX sites at SARA and NIKHEF. This also caused an outage for some of our external services, mainly ns.ripe.net and whois.ripe.net. We apologise for the inconvenience this might have caused.

What does RIPE plan to pay for /8s ?
by Jim Fleming 06 Nov '02

06 Nov '02

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46223-2002Oct31.html "There are too many holes (in the new bylaws) that are not appropriate for where we stand at this time and in our responsibility to the Internet," said Robert Blokzijl, an ICANN board member and founder of the European Internet registry, RIPE. Blokzijl joined Auerbach and Andy Mueller-Maguhn of Germany, another elected board member, in voting against the changes. ===== What does RIPE plan to pay for /8s ? http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space Jim Fleming 128-bit DNS is closer than you think...

[Apologies for duplicate mails] New RIPE Document Announcement -------------------------------------- A new document is available from the RIPE document store. Ref: ripe-261 Title: IPv6 Address Space Management Author: Paul Wilson, Raymond Plzak, Axel Pawlik Date: 31 October 2002 Format: PS=27246 TXT=13567 Obsoletes: Obsoleted by: Updates: Updated by: Short content description ------------------------- The "IPv6 Address Space Management" document provides the management process for IPv6 global unicast address space whereby address allocations are made from a single global pool according to a "sparse allocation" algorithm. This allocation process will maximise aggregation of address space, ensuring that most ISPs retain a single prefix as they grow, and avoiding the address space fragmentation which results from the current IPv4 allocation technique. This document also describes the registration process and the administration of the IP6.ARPA domain.

Summary of ERX-TF discussion
by leo vegoda 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Dear Colleagues, As promised, here is a summary of the short discussion had on the <erx-tf(a)ripe.net> mailing list over the last few weeks. There have been about 15 messages in total. On 10 October we published the RIPE NCC's proposed ERX process for IPv4 to the Task Force. There were two technical queries: a request for confirmation that all contacts in both databases be e-mailed. Also, there was a request for confirmation on how reverse delegations would be handled. Substantive issues included a question on how early registrations would be handled from a policy point of view. The RIPE NCC confirmed that in the past, the majority of registrants have agreed to meet the current policy requirements for registration. However, we also noted that previous registrations have tended to be done for organisations who place a value on registration data. It was argued that the policy issues were less important than the accuracy of the registration data transferred/updated. No other issues on the transfer process were raised. It appears that the Task Force is happy with the proposed transfer process. As such, we would like to publish the proposed process in the next few days. Regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services
