Registration Services discussion
Dear All, having noticed that there is no NCC response to the current training discussion on the list, let me assure you that indeed we are aware of the deficiencies in Registration Services. We have been discussing this between us for quite some time, and weighing possible angles of attack. Joao's mails reflect some of that thinking. Registration Services indeed are the core of the NCC, and we must keep up with the demands of growth. It is far up on my priority list. Your contributions are highly welcome in this context, and I am confident that together with our hostmaster collegues we will be able to come up with a road map to more efficient and speedier services. I believe that the NCC hostmasters are doing a great job; both the newcomers in learning the job's ends as quickly as possible, and the old hands in handing on their wealth of knowledge to help that process. regards, Axel Pawlik
Axel, Thank you for the response to the current discussion. I do think several important issues have been raised in this discussion that need further exploration. In particular, I think it would be very productive if the NCC could prepare a report for the Budapest meeting regarding the distribution of IP requests that must receive approval from Registration Services. It would be extremely helpful in evaluating any proposed changes to procedure to know what percentage of requests requiring approval are in the /28 or longer assignment window. I believe there is an impression that these requests for 8 or fewer IPs are taking up a disproportionate amount of the limited resources available. Hard statistics would go a long way towards affirming or disproving that impression. Given how long the current request queue is, and how many of us rely on this service until our assignment window increases, I think disclosure of how the workload is distributed across cidr designations would be appropriate. ---- Barbara Roseman IP Addressing Engineer Global Crossing 408-543-4711 barbara@gblx.net
Dear Alex, Please forgive me for rude style, but Your words about "speedier services" sounds like a mockery. I have take random surf through RIPE NCC ticketing system and find out that reguests aren't responded for 10 days (NCC#2000048014/8020/8023): only "EMAIL Customer / EMAIL Ack" As first respond do not mean approvement from RIPE NCC, please imagine how long full process could last? With best wishes, Rimas Janusauskas, Vilnius University Hostmaster ______________________________________________________________________ P.O.Box 543 e-mail: rimas.janusauskas@sc.vu.lt LT-2024 Vilnius Lithuania fax/phone: +370 2 687188 ______________________________________________________________________ On Sat, 15 Apr 2000, Axel Pawlik wrote:
